The term denotes materials that absorb more CO\u2082 from the atmosphere than they release during processing or disposal. It implies a complete life cycle assessment covering production and disposal that includes actual use throughout its supply chain process. It consists of bio-based materials with renewable or sustainable manufacturing processes.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Need_for_Carbon-Negative_Materials\"><\/span><strong>The Need for Carbon-Negative Materials\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than 36 million metric tons of carbon enter the atmosphere annually. They result mostly from fossil fuel burning and industrial operations. Right now, with global temperatures rising and extreme weather events occurring more frequently, there is great urgency to decarbonize industrial activities like never before. Conventional materials like concrete, plastics, and steel carry with them a massive carbon liability and, therefore, are thought to have an alternative green counterpart. There are several possible motivations for the eventual consideration of carbon-negative materials:\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Climate Policies and Regulations: Governments around the world are putting into force stricter emission targets to guide industries toward sustainable alternatives.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Corporate Sustainability Goals: Net-zero emission commitments made by a growing number of companies are driving demand for carbon-negative materials.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Consumer Awareness: Eco-conscious consumerism is forcing industries to rethink their material choices.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read our blogs:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/the-green-tech-revolution-how-technology-is-driving-sustainability\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Green Tech Revolution: How Technology is Driving Sustainability.<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Innovation\"><\/span><strong>Innovation <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recent technical innovations are creating many groundbreaking materials that are likely to become the basis for clean-growthdevelopment;, for instance, carbon-negative materials:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Carbon-Negative_Concrete\"><\/span><strong>1. Carbon-Negative Concrete<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With about an 8% share of the global emissions of CO\u2082, mainly due to cement usage, the concrete-making industry is an incredible source of CO\u2082. New carbon-negative systems such as Carbon Cure and Bio Concrete absorb CO\u2082 to offset and reduce emissions. CO\u2082 is thus integrated permanently into the structure, locking it within buildings and infrastructures, which in turn reduces the carbon footprint;\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Bio-Plastics\"><\/span><strong>2.

Carbon-negative bioplastics, including PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoates) and PLA (polylactic acid), come from renewable resources such as plants.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Mycelium-Based_Materials\"><\/span><strong>3.
