Ireland: SlateRete is reportedly developing a novel concrete alternative using slate waste. The Irish Times newspaper has reported that the product will launch in 2026, once SlateRete achieves its pre-seed funding target of €850,000. The company plans to secure the necessary certifications for structural use.
Co-founder Hamed Panahiazar said that slate is ‘widely available,’ while its disposal ‘can be a headache’ for the Irish building trade.
