The project will deliver a step-change in the application of circular economic principles by providing alternative materials to the construction industry. This involves transforming non-marketable ceramics and porcelain (a waste stream that is financially costly and has high carbon emission rates) into PORCEMENT--a highly profitable cement-like material to substitute concrete binders. The ultra-low carbon intensity of PORCEMENT (in the range of 0.013 kg CO2/kg), the avoidance of landfilling operations for 75kt ceramic waste yearly, and the design of optimised supply chain management, will enable carbon savings in the range of 2.4kt CO2/year.The substitution of 75kt of Portland cement in concrete will deliver an emission reduction of 60kt CO2/year, supporting the decarbonation and circular vision for the UK construction industry. The project will support the setup of a new business including provision for several IP protection mechanisms, which will allow the replication of the model across the UK and its export abroad. The new business has clear profit margins, it will create at least 50 FTE jobs in the entire supply chain over two years, and, after industrial demonstration, it will attract investors for the replication and extension of the model. The project will deliver: the technical requirements for the processing units to be installed, laboratory validation of the technology, validation in an industrial environment and the design of a sustainable supply chain that minimise costs and emissions with maximum efficiency and profit. The project has been designed by a leading tile importer, a Russell group, research-intensive university, and a pioneering low carbon concrete manufacturer, who all sit in the heart of the South West of England.

该项目将通过为建筑行业提供替代材料来实现循环经济原则的逐步变化。这涉及将非营销陶瓷和瓷器（一种经济昂贵且具有高碳排放率的废物流）转换为POR部门，这是一种具有高利润的水泥样材料来代替混凝土粘合剂。 POR部门的超低碳强度（在0.013 kg CO2/kg的范围内），每年避免了75kt陶瓷废物的垃圾填充操作以及优化的供应链管理的设计，将使碳节省在2.4kt CO2/Year的范围内。英国建筑业的脱碳和循环构想。该项目将支持一家新业务的设置，包括提供多种IP保护机制的准备，这将允许在英国及其国外出口的模型复制。新业务具有明显的利润率，它将在两年内在整个供应链中至少创造50个FTE的工作，并且在工业演示之后，它将吸引投资者的复制和扩展。该项目将提供：要安装的处理单元的技术要求，对技术的实验室验证，在工业环境中的验证以及可持续供应链的设计，以最大程度地减少成本和排放，并以最高的效率和利润。该项目是由领先的瓷砖进口商，罗素集团，研究密集型大学和一个开创性的低碳混凝土制造商设计的，他们都位于英格兰西南部的中心。
