Low-carbon construction
• Made from 63% recycled municipal waste (crushed concrete and glass) from the city of Gent
• The bricks are unfired, allowing for carbonation in atmospheric conditions and reducing the energy associated with fired brick production
• A Gent Waste Brick has 1/3 the embodied carbon of a typical Belgian clay brick over a 60-year life cycle*
• Certified for use (September 2022) in construction on the external facing façade of the new wing of the Design Museum Gent (DING: Design in Gent)
• Using the Gent Waste Brick instead of a typical Belgian clay brick to construct the Design Museum Gent will save 107 tonnes CO2e
