On the 23rd, Sungsin Cement announced that it collaborated with POSCO E&C and Dongsan Concrete Industry to develop a carbon-reduction type artificial reef by combining three types of slag cement (PosMent Max) with 3D printing technology, aiming to contribute to carbon neutrality and marine ecosystem restoration.


The newly developed artificial reef is expected to have resource recycling and carbon reduction effects. Additionally, it produces structures optimized for marine life habitats, representing an advancement over existing artificial reef methods.


Sungsin Cement and POSCO E&C introduced three types of slag cement for 3D printing that increase the slag replacement rate in cement up to 70% compared to existing products, contributing to carbon emission reduction in materials. Dongsan Concrete Industry implemented a method to produce precise, customized artificial reef structures using 3D printing technology.



A representative from Sungsin Cement stated, “Through this technology, we have opened up the technical possibility of producing customized structures not only for marine ecosystem restoration but also for various projects such as terrestrial ecosystem restoration and river improvement.” He added, “In the long term, it can be applied to other fields such as building materials and infrastructure construction, and its value as a sustainable construction technology is expected to grow even further.”
