Breathaboard is a natural, scalable, carbon sequestering alternative to plasterboard, one of the most widely used construction products.
It is a drop-in solution to reduce CO2 emissions and waste in the wallboard market and the built environment. Breathaboard has half the embodied carbon than that of its competitors. It can save up to 4kg of CO2/m2 in a market of around 13bn m2 capacity. It has been recognised by construction industry professionals as a revolutionary innovation that could help to address waste issues, resource scarcity and the needed decarbonisation in the construction sector.
Breathaboard has enhanced thermal performance, reduces the risk of mould forming and is totally compostable at the end of its life. What is more, this product is installed in the same way as plasterboard, but is lighter weight. Breathaboard has been tested by independent UKAS accredited laboratories and can be fully compliant with incumbent standard EN 520 in all performance criteria – exceeding them in some cases.
Adaptavate’s innovation can help the construction industry rapidly decarbonise without changing the way buildings are renovated or constructed.
