Landscaping Solutions shouldn't cost the Earth
Globally, construction materials have the largest carbon footprint after building use
Processing raw materials was 2.66 gigatons in 2021 and 13% of Global Co2 emissions came from the construction industry 2022.
Statista predict that between 2020 and 2060 of all global construction GHG emissions, steel and concrete are forecast to be responsible for approximately 66% and bricks and aluminum 24%. All of these are common landscaping materials
Innovation - Driven Solutions
As our planet faces its biggest challenge of our lifetime with the climate crisis, the landscaping industry is still embedded in the linear Take-Make-Use-Waste economy model. Gardens still contain sandstone quarried and shipped from India, bricks and porcelain baked at 1200°C and concrete, the material responsible for 7-9% of all global CO2 emissions.
From the cross polination of founder, and RHS Gold Medal Winning Garden Designer, Sara Edwards' computer aided design (CAD) / computer aided manufacture (CAM) and off-site production experience SCULPTS intends to address this crisis with its innovative landscaping solution, which she has been developing as part of the first cohort of businesses on the NMITE Innovation Business Support Programme, with InnovateUK.
Low Carbon & Net Zero Concrete
We are proud to be collaborating with Nomad and their groundbreaking work on developing 3D printed low carbon with 75% reduction in CO2 emissions, using circular economy locally sourced ‘Urban mining’ recycled materials, from within a fifty mile raidus, as well as carbon neutral geo-polymer concrete.
Next Generation Technologies
Our business uses next-generation technologies, including advanced additive manufacturing to revolutionise landscaping solutions. By utilising Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) with off-site manufacturing, we ensure precision and efficiency, reducing on-site time and minimising disruption. Our innovative approach allows us to create custom, sustainable hardscapes with intricate designs that traditional methods can't achieve, all while lowering the build's carbon footprint. With cutting-edge 3D printing, we offer a tailored, eco-friendly solution for modern landscaping challenges.
