DTE Materials

DTE Materials is a small materials science startup based in Los Angeles, California. With only three employees, the company is focused on developing innovative solutions for the construction industry. DTE Materials specializes in converting waste materials such as forest debris and agricultural residues into reusable bioaggregates. These bioaggregates, marketed under the name StoneFiber, have a wide range of potential applications, including the production of concrete masonry units (CMUs). The company's patented ClearWash process enables the transformation of previously discarded waste into valuable building materials. A key differentiator for DTE Materials is its commitment to sustainability. StoneFiber CMUs are designed to be 30-40% lighter and have 20-40% lower embodied carbon compared to traditional concrete masonry units, depending on the structural rating. This makes StoneFiber a more environmentally friendly option for construction projects. For more information about DTE Materials and its products, visit their website at dtematerials.com.
