Ekotekt AB develops carbon-negative building systems for off-site construction, using a patented robotic 3D printing process and bio-based hempcrete. Its material-efficient concrete structural design reduces the use of concrete and steel by up to 70%, while storing 14 kg CO₂e per square meter. These building elements are 30% lighter than conventional sandwich panels and replace plastic-based insulation materials like styrofoam. Made from industrial hemp—a fast-growing crop harvested in just 4–6 months—they offer excellent mold resistance, fire resistance, and durability, and comply fully with EU building codes. Ekotekt’s solution offers a sustainable, scalable alternative to traditional concrete-based systems—minimizing environmental impact while creating rural income opportunities through climate-positive construction.
