A Dutch startup is making concrete that grows its own moss
A Dutch startup called Respyre has created a special type of concrete that allows moss to grow on it without needing water or soil. This innovative material is made by the company in collaboration with researchers from Delft University of Technology. The moss grows naturally on the surface, drawing moisture from rain and air.
Why it's good news: This new development could potentially reduce maintenance needs for buildings and create more sustainable urban environments.
