A number of journalists and trade publications have taken an interest in our projects, our technology partnerships and the innovations we develop to reduce the carbon footprint of buildings.
Below you'll find a selection of articles and media coverage featuring our projects, our collaborations and the initiatives helping to shape the future of construction. Note: the articles below have been freely translated from their original language.
A new life for an old idea
Québec SMEs driving innovation
After acquiring Isobloc last year, when the company was "at rock bottom," Eric Dionne now aims to triple its revenue within five years.
The maker of insulated structural blocks will do so by courting architects, but also contractors.
Depolluting, durable and affordable concrete
Québec SMEs driving innovation
Two Québec companies, Isobloc and CarbiCrete, have combined their expertise to create Isobloc ZERO, an insulated-masonry block made from cement-free concrete.
This technology reduces concrete's carbon footprint by replacing cement and capturing CO₂, while preserving its strength and durability.
A concrete solution for the environment
La Presse – PME Inspiration
The Québec newspaper La Presse took an interest in the innovation built around cement-free concrete and its potential to transform the construction industry.
The article highlights a solution that significantly reduces the carbon footprint of concrete production, notably through technologies able to replace traditional cement with industrial by-products and to capture CO₂ during the manufacturing process.
This approach opens the way to new ways of designing construction materials and shows that it's possible to build more sustainable infrastructure while maintaining the performance expected for commercial and industrial projects.
A first project built with decarbonized masonry
Voir Vert – Québec's sustainable building portal
The specialized outlet Voir Vert, recognized in Québec's sustainable building industry, took an interest in the completion of a first project using decarbonized masonry, thanks to CarbiCrete technology and the Isobloc wall system.
The article explains how this innovation replaces traditional cement with industrial by-products and captures CO₂ during the material's manufacture. This approach helps reduce the carbon footprint of construction materials while maintaining the performance needed for commercial and industrial buildings.
Mon Drummond shines a light on the Isobloc ZERO innovation
Mon Drummond
The regional outlet Mon Drummond took an interest in the innovation developed in Drummondville around cement-free concrete. The article presents the first project built with Isobloc ZERO technology at Patio Drummond and underscores the solution's potential to reduce the carbon footprint of the construction industry.

A first Isobloc ZERO project
La Presse – PME Inspiration
A first building using Isobloc ZERO technology has been built. In a PME Inspiration feature published last year, La Presse reported on this technology developed by Isobloc and CarbiCrete, which reduces the environmental footprint of construction by using steel slag — an industrial waste — instead of cement in concrete production.
It is now well established in a building constructed by Maçonnerie Richard Lauzière, for Patio Drummond. "It's possible to reduce pollution in the construction industry and build more sustainably, right here," says Eric Dionne, director of Isobloc.
Patio Drummond at the heart of a global innovation with the first Isobloc ZERO project
Vingt55
The regional outlet Vingt55 covered the completion of the first project using Isobloc ZERO, an innovation developed in collaboration with CarbiCrete technology.
The article highlights the construction of the first building using this cement-free masonry block, capable of significantly reducing the carbon emissions associated with construction materials. This project, carried out in Drummondville, shows concretely how new technologies can transform the building industry.
This achievement marks an important step in developing low-carbon solutions for commercial and industrial buildings.
A one-of-a-kind eco-friendly, cement-free concrete project
L’Express – Drummondville
The newspaper L’Express de Drummondville took an interest in the development of an innovative project using cement-free concrete technology, made possible by the collaboration between Isobloc and CarbiCrete.
The article presents this advance, which replaces traditional cement with industrial residues while capturing CO₂ during the manufacturing process. This innovation helps significantly reduce the carbon footprint of construction materials.
This project, carried out in Drummondville, demonstrates the potential of new low-carbon technologies to transform the construction industry and offer more sustainable solutions for commercial and industrial buildings.
