Our Material & Mission
Zerocrete is an innovative and sustainable alternative to traditional concrete. It is a high-performance material crafted by upcycling cement and cement alternatives with landfill-bound waste, specifically non-recyclable plastics, fabrics, and glass. The result is a strong, beautiful, and eco-friendly material with a unique story.
All our furniture is meticulously designed and handcrafted at our factory in Cape Town, South Africa. We are proud to bring South African innovation and craftsmanship to the US market, with each piece telling a global story of sustainable design.

- Diverts Waste: Actively prevents tons of plastic, fabric, and glass from entering landfills.
- Reduces CO2 Emissions: Is created using a process that cuts the carbon footprint by up to 85% compared to traditional concrete manufacturing.
- Conserves Natural Resources: Reduces the need to quarry virgin materials like sand and stone.
