It shapes project cost and sequence,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/circular-economy-built-environments-net-zero\/138879\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> embodied emissions<\/a>, and increasingly the risk profile that influences approvals, funding terms, and portfolio resilience.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Meet us in London: We invite you to connect with ParaStruct at the Climate Technology Show at ExCeL London (24\u201325 March 2026): <a href=\"https:\/\/climatetechshow.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/climatetechshow.com\/<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>One of the most overlooked components sits under our feet. Cement screed accounts for at least 5% of a building\u2019s emissions, and construction sites frequently lose weeks waiting for drying before follow-on trades can proceed. Dry screed systems can reduce delays but are often too expensive for adoptation at scale.<\/p>\n<p>BioScreed is a practical alternative designed for real projects under real constraints. Developed by ParaStruct, BioScreed is a <strong>circular, machinable screed<\/strong> that combines the economic advantages of conventional systems with the ecological benefits typically associated with dry solutions, while improving timline certainty.<\/p>\n<h3>Why BioScreed for your next project<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Timber construction and retrofitting advantage:<\/strong> minimal construction moisture and <strong>walkable after 24 hours<\/strong>, helping you de-risking sequencing, reducing downtime and solving a critical challenge.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Circular, low-carbon material strategy:<\/strong> uses wood residual streams and a <strong>purely mineral low-carbon binder<\/strong>, without cement, organic binders, additives, accelerators, or polymers. On top, BioScreed is soothing for the feet and can help reduce heating demand.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Carbon sink performance:<\/strong> stores<strong> up to 350 kg CO\u2082e per m\u00b3<\/strong>, with a reported <strong>\u0394 660 kg CO\u2082e per m\u00b3 versus cement screed<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fits your standard delivery model:<\/strong> supplied as <strong>market standard silo and bagged goods<\/strong> for conventional handling and site workflows.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ready for all building variants:<\/strong> suitable for timber, concrete, and prefab construction, as well as refurbishment and extensions. Designed for bonded, floating, and heated screed builds. <strong>EN 13813<\/strong> compliant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s qualify a fit in an online conversation, or at CTS London in person<\/strong> (24\u201325 March 2026)<\/p>\n<p>If you are a general contractor, site lead, designer, or developer working on projects where future-fitness, ESG outcomes and improving financing conditions matter, we would like to speak with you.
