Kiln-free, bio-based “sintering” makes low-carbon, ceramic-like materials

A new process called BioSintering takes advantage of plant-based bio-active molecules to fuse together particles at mild temperatures, yielding an alternative material for conventional ceramic tiles with a much lower carbon footprint. Developed by Dekiln, the technology binds loose particulate materials into dense solids using ambient-temperature biologically mediated mineralization pathways, eliminating several high-energy steps from traditional ceramic processing
