FRONT
FRONT is a curated platform for sustainable building materials. Working closely with innovative producers, such as Biomason. FRONT brings together a growing collection of low carbon aesthetic materials made from waste and renewable resources. By supporting architects, developers, and contractors with hands–on guidance, from early concept to project delivery, services at FRONT go beyond supply. Technical documentation, product samples, CPD presentations, and custom material advice are available to help teams confidently implement circular choices.
Mimmik Tile: the first tile ever grown with the help of bacteria. Traditional cement production accounts for 8% of global Co2 emissions. Concrete is the second–most–consumed material in the world after water. Without radical change, the way we build our infrastructure will continue to undermine a healthy and safe future. Inspired by coral, one of nature’s most durable structures, this technology uses bacteria to bind carbon and calcium into a biologically formed marble material. Within two days, Mimmik Tiles grow into strong, durable floor tiles. It's a planet–friendly alternative to traditional cement that reduces CO₂ emissions by at least 60%. Mimmik Tile is developed and produced by Biomason.
