AggrePlex

Low-Carbon Cementitious Materials

AggrePlex is Microtec's flagship commercialization platform for producing high-performance ground-glass pozzolan. Using Microtec's advanced micronization and classification technology, AggrePlex transforms recovered glass into PozzoDyne™, an activated supplementary cementitious material designed to partially replace ordinary Portland cement in concrete.
