Transforming Mineral Waste into Architectural Innovation

econiclay® TECHNOLOGY

Transforming Mineral Waste into Architectural Innovation

econiclay® is a mineral-based composite material technology used to produce Modified Clay Material (MCM) for lightweight, flexible, and durable architectural solutions. It transforms sustainable raw materials including soil, stone offcuts, and non-metallic mining residues into high-performance mineral-based materials.

PRODUCTION PROCESS

01
→

Waste Mineral Collection

econiclay recycles and repurposes abundant inorganic minerals: soil, stone offcuts, waste brick and ceramic, sand.
02
→

Micro-Powder Processing

Raw minerals are sorted, crushed, and refined into micro-powders.
03
→

econiclay Activation Technology

The powders undergo low-temperature econiclay activation, forming a multi-layer network of active inorganic particles.
04
→

Surface Products Formation

Materials are shaped at 90°C using clean energy from combined heat and power (CHP).

Waste-to-Value Innovation

econiclay is an innovative material technology that transforms low-carbon inorganic solid waste into high-performance sustainable materials. By utilizing resources such as soil, stone waste, and mineral tailings as raw materials, econiclay enables resource regeneration while reducing reliance on traditional raw materials and lowering environmental impact.

Product Recyclability

Unlike traditional building materials that often become waste after demolition, econiclay is developed with a circular approach throughout its lifecycle. At the end of its service life, econiclay-based products can be recycled and reintroduced into the production process, creating a closed-loop material cycle.

Low-Carbon & Clean Manufacturing

Powered by renewable energy and low-temperature manufacturing, econiclay enables a cleaner and more energy-efficient production process with significantly reduced carbon emissions. As a low-emission mineral-based material, econiclay helps minimize harmful emissions during production and application, contributing to healthier indoor environments and cleaner outdoor spaces.

Water & Soil Protection

Through an advanced steam condensation and water recycling system, econiclay optimizes water utilization during manufacturing, enabling efficient water reuse and minimizing wastewater generation. As an inorganic mineral-based material, econiclay contains no harmful organic substances and does not release pollutants into the environment after use, helping protect soil and groundwater quality.

econiclay Achieves Cradle-to-Cradle Accreditation

Our econiclay is made from natural, non-toxic materials like soil, stone waste, and non-metallic tailings. These materials are processed into micro-powders and treated with special surfactants to ensure the final product is free from harmful ingredients and emissions.
Designed for circular use, econiclay surfaces support material recovery and reduced waste across the full product lifecycle.
Low-temperature forming and responsible material sourcing reduce carbon impact while supporting clean indoor and outdoor environments.
Reclaimed water and low-waste production reduce pressure on local water and soil systems.
PHOMI aligns material innovation with safer production, durable applications, and long-term environmental responsibility.
