Verde Resources Launches VerdePlus to Revolutionize Sustainable Infrastructure with TerraZyme Technology
Verde Resources Inc. (VRDR) is making significant strides in sustainable infrastructure with the launch of its new subsidiary, VerdePlus Inc., in partnership with Nature Plus Inc. (NPI). This groundbreaking venture is driven by the successful integration of TerraZyme, a revolutionary stabilization enzyme, into the subgrade and base layers of a test section at the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) Test Track.
This achievement marks a major milestone in the construction industry, as TerraZyme eliminates the need for stabilizing lime in A-6 clay subgrades and significantly reduces Portland cement usage by over 60% compared to traditional methods. This innovative approach delivers a wide range of benefits:
*
Reduced Carbon Footprint:
TerraZyme’s ability to minimize lime and cement usage translates into a substantial decrease in the carbon footprint of construction projects. This aligns with the growing global focus on environmental sustainability and achieving Net Zero goals.*
Enhanced Soil Stabilization and Moisture Resistance:
TerraZyme improves the stability and moisture resistance of soil, leading to longer-lasting and more resilient infrastructure. This is particularly crucial in regions prone to challenging weather conditions.*
Significant Cost Savings:
By reducing the need for traditional materials and minimizing construction complexities, TerraZyme contributes to at least 30% cost savings in construction, making sustainable solutions more accessible and economically viable.A Collaboration Fueled by Innovation
Verde and NPI have combined their expertise to create a powerful force in the sustainable infrastructure sector. NPI’s intellectual property for TerraZyme is now incorporated into VerdePlus, a joint subsidiary majority-owned by Verde. This strategic alliance will enable the scaling of low-carbon building materials, including road construction and concrete.
“VerdePlus strengthens our commitment to sustainable infrastructure,” said Jack Wong, CEO of Verde Resources. “This partnership will drive innovative green solutions into materials.”
Jon Sedgwick, CEO of NPI, echoed this sentiment, stating, “We are very pleased to formalize this alliance with Verde. Our successful NCAT Test Track collaboration highlights the value of innovating for sustainability, and we look forward to expanding TerraZyme’s impact within the Net Zero construction space.”
Quantifying Environmental Impact and Ensuring Transparency
The successful installation at the NCAT Test Track has enabled Verde and its partners to begin quantifying the significant reductions in environmental footprint achieved through TerraZyme. They are working towards generating Carbon Avoidance Credits using advanced methodologies, while adhering to rigorous standards to ensure integrity and transparency, preventing greenwashing.
A Commitment to Net Zero Construction
Verde Resources is a leader in establishing the world’s first Net Zero road construction blueprint, certified at the highest level. VerdePlus, the joint venture, further strengthens this commitment by offering practical, cost-effective solutions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) in the infrastructure sector.
This partnership between Verde and NPI is poised to revolutionize the construction industry by promoting sustainable practices and advancing the vision of a Net Zero future.
