Adaptavate has just released the testing done to date on Breathaboard, its pioneering low-carbon alternative to plasterboard, confirming that it hits, and in some cases exceeds, the wallboard industry standards. Developed over the last ten years with Adaptavate’s patented technology, Breathaboard is a drop-in solution to reduce CO2 emissions and waste in the wallboard market and the built environment.
Adaptavate’s technology intends to make low-carbon, carbon storing and carbon-negative building products available to all. The company’s first solution, Breathaboard, focuses on the wallboard category and the news today confirms its potential to go mainstream. In fact, Adaptavate is already trialling the product across UK building sites and is in talks with global and regional plasterboard manufacturers about deploying its low-carbon technology and plasterboard alternative across the globe.
Breathaboard has been tested by independent UKAS accredited laboratories and can be fully compliant with incumbent standard EN 520 in all applicable performance criteria – exceeding them in some cases. More information about the tests and the results, can be found on Adaptavate’s website.
The product is made with renewable agricultural feedstocks and waste, absorbs CO2, and is installed in the same way as plasterboard. It is claimed this pioneering technology can help decarbonise the construction industry globally, with up to 4kg of CO2 saved per m2 of its plasterboard alternative.
Adaptavate is now putting plans to build an industrial demonstrator into action to speed up the scalability and adoption of its climate positive technology across the globe.
