Techno Carbon Technologies is a company that handles the promotion and sale of a material called Carbon Fibre Stone. Carbon Fibre Stone (CFS) is a material invented over 18 years ago by Pr. Kolja Kuse from Munich, Germany. He found that by pre-loading Granite (and maintaining that preload) then applying a layer of carbon fibre using a clever adhesive, the property of flexibility was exhibited in 'solid' granite. Unlikely as it sounds, it is true. - Flexible Granite. It retains all the properties of granite like strength, hardness, etc. but can be adapted and used in a vast array of applications that are currently using concrete but with half the CO2 emissions in manufacture. It is these green credentials that have suddenly caught the political imagination and things are moving fast. Imagine shock absorption in granite? Now you can. The German government via DB are currently testing to destruction some CFS railway sleepers and so far, so very good. They have invested millions of euro in this endeavour. We are keen to talk with all parties who recognise the 'Ring of Truth' that Carbon Fibre Stone has and want to find out more. For more information please call 07850 352426. We shall be posting more significant news shortly. Thank you. #hybridmaterial #constructionmaterials #decarbonisation

Off grid Bus Shelters, enviromentally friendly & built with saving our planet in mind.! The image below is of another installation (of 100’s of installations) of our Arun product fully ‘off grid’. The shelter features: Recycled plastic bottle aesthetic components - Recycled Aluminium extrusions - Architectural Solar - Sedum Vegetation - Re used structural steel - LED lower consumption lighting. 95% of our powder for coating covers the components. The 5% collected is shipped for repurposing. Uniquely the Aruns are rubber stamped by consultant structural engineers for use in multiple locations Nationwide. The Arun shelters come with a twenty year warranty! Over the last 20 years over 18’000 Arun’s have been installed. A recent Local authority territory survey (with shelters of over 12 years old) determined that no structural defects were found and all in good order! EG leading by example! #decarbonisation #reuse #offgrid #solar #buses #shelters #sedum #recycling #circulareconomy #netzero2050

The inventory of beneficial properties of Wagners composite utility poles is extensive and represents great value. Here’s my recent article https://lnkd.in/gqP8u4tp

Did you know there are more than 5.3 million wooden utility poles in use in Australia with the majority made from beautiful Australian hardwood timbers such as Spotted Gum, Ironbark, Blackbutt, Grey Box, Tallow Wood and Blood Wood.🌳🌳🌳 These timbers are increasingly becoming hard to find in length and quantity, but timber utility poles also pose a risk to networks and communities from what you can't see. ⚠ Check out this timber utility pole recently removed from the network which is in an advanced stage of decomposition owing to termite infestation. 🐜🐜 Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Utility Poles are resistant to termites, acid sulfate soils and are non leaching. They are also: ✔️Non-conductive, so significantly reduced risk of shock or electrocution ✔️Lightweight = safer to handle, transport and install ✔️Durable, with an expected 80-year design life ✔️Inert, so will not rust, rot or corrode ✔️and Environmentally friendly & sustainable using 5-7 times less embodied carbon So for a more durable, safer and environmentally friendly utility pole think Wagners CFT!

Differentiating yourself from competitors and finding a niche is a proven marketing technique. Why not offer timber when all your competitors are offering PVC? The cost price is similar, you can potentially charge more and add more to your bottom line. By discounting even 10% you have to sell approximately 20-30% more to make the same $$ margin.

Engineering at its BEST!!

This is electroculture farming. It works with pyramid shapes (inside and non-conductive materials) and copper spirals (outside and highly conductive materials). Pests stay away, vegetables grow huge sizes in natural ways without fertilizer. Natural farming. I love love love it! Watch the documentaries of Marijn Poels about farming outdoors (temperate climate but also desert) and indoors (controlled environments). 1. Return to Eden 2. Primordial Code Fascinating stuff! #natural #farming #energy
