POZGLASS™ 100G
A Revolutionary Cement Replacement Technology
Reimagining Cement for a Sustainable Future
Cement production is one of the largest contributors to global CO2 emissions, accounting for over 7% of worldwide emissions. Still, as the world races to decarbonize, demand for concrete continues to soar. PozGlass™ 100G (PozGlass) addresses this dual challenge head-on: reducing the environmental footprint of cement while creating a second life for post-consumer glass.
As climate-related events like wildfires and hurricanes increase in frequency and intensity, the demand for durable, resilient building materials continues to grow. Concrete structures offer greater protection against these forces compared to wooden homes, which are often more vulnerable to fire and storm damage. In regions like California, where wooden homes are becoming uninsurable, concrete is emerging as a critical solution for rebuilding and future-proofing communities.
This patented, scalable technology isn’t just about reducing emissions – it’s about reshaping the cement industry with integrity, innovation, and sustainability at its core.
Why PozGlass Matters
Cement’s global footprint
The cement industry is responsible for 26% of global industrial emissions. Current replacement materials like fly ash are becoming scarce as coal power plants phase out.
Glass Waste Problem
Only 25% of post-consumer glass in North America is recycled. PozGlass transforms this underutilized resource into a high-value material for construction.
A Scalable Solution
With glass chemically consistent worldwide, PozGlass can scale rapidly to cement plants in every major city, turning misallocated resources into environmental solutions.
What Makes PozGlass Revolutionary
PozGlass is a low-carbon supplementary cementitious material (SCM) that can be seamlessly integrated into existing cement production processes.
- Transforming glass
Our patent-pending process removes sodium from soda-lime glass, enhancing its performance as an SCM. - Permanent carbon sequestration
The removed sodium reacts with CO2 to form sodium carbonate, which we convert to calcium carbonate (limestone) locking away carbon permanently. - Circular Economy Benefits
Calcium carbonate can then be repurposed into several valuable products, while PozGlass becomes a high-performance cement replacement.
Engineered for Impact. Built for Scale.
- CO2 reduction
PozGlass reduces reliance on clinker, the carbon-intensive ingredient in cement, lowering emissions throughout the production process. - Circular economy leadership
By diverting post-consumer glass from landfills, PozGlass contributes to waste reduction and resource efficiency. - Seamless integration
Designed to bolt onto existing cement plants, PozGlass is positioned to scale rapidly with minimal operational disruption.
Our Path to Scale: Pilot Plant in Kamloops, BC
Progressive Planet is taking the final step to validate this groundbreaking technology. Construction on our pilot plant in Kamloops will begin in 2025, with operations expected to commence the same year.
- Strategic partnerships
Lafarge Canada Inc. has agreed to purchase PozGlass from the pilot plant and is providing technical guidance throughout the design and construction process. - Global impact
With over 2,600 cement plants worldwide, PozGlass represents a massive opportunity for emissions reductions and sustainability at scale.
Why the World Needs PozGlass Now
As governments and industries roll out action plans to meet aggressive climate targets, the demand for low-carbon solutions is outpacing supply. Cement producers are facing mounting pressure to innovate while the availability of traditional SCMs like fly ash is declining.
PozGlass fills this critical gap with:
Global adaptability:
- Glass is abundantly available and chemically consistent worldwide.
Environmental benefits
- Every ton of PozGlass used reduces emissions while diverting glass from landfills.
Economic scalability:
A licensing and royalty model will enable rapid deployment to cement plants globally, turning local challenges into global solutions.
