Following the successful installation at the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) Test Track, Verde has established VerdePlus Inc., a new subsidiary in partnership with Nature Plus Inc. (NPI).
Verde collaborated with NPI to successfully integrate its innovative stabilisation enzyme, TerraZyme, into the subgrade and base layers of its cross-section at NCAT, marking the first ever application of its kind. TerraZyme eliminates the need for stabilising lime in A-6 clay subgrades and cuts Portland cement usage by over 60% compared to traditional methods. This innovation slashes the carbon footprint, enhances soil stabilisation and moisture resistance, delivers at least 30% cost savings in construction, and reduces the expenses associated with sourcing and transporting traditional road materials.
"VerdePlus strengthens our commitment to sustainable infrastructure," said Jack Wong, CEO of Verde Resources. "This partnership will drive innovative green solutions into materials."
NPI will inject its intellectual property of TerraZyme into VerdePlus, a joint subsidiary majority-held by Verde. VerdePlus will leverage the combined expertise of both companies to scale innovations in low-carbon building materials, including road construction and concrete.
"We are very pleased to formalise this alliance with Verde," said Jon Sedgwick, CEO of NPI. "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."
The successful Test Track installation has enabled Verde and its partners to begin quantifying significant environmental footprint reductions and working towards generating Carbon Avoidance Credits using advanced methodologies, all while ensuring integrity and transparency to prevent greenwashing.
