French startup Néolithe has come up with a novel idea to dispose of industrial non-recyclable waste that’s more sustainable than traditional waste management: turning it into stone. Exactly as nature would over thousands of years, just way quicker. The startup, co-founded by father and son William and Nicolas Cruaud with the help of current CEO Clément Bénassy, devised a three-step process called Accelerated Fossilization.
Néolithe’s ingenious concept challenges the conventional methods of waste disposal by mimicking the gradual transformation of organic matter into stone that occurs naturally over millennia. However, the startup’s innovative process accelerates this geological process significantly, achieving sustainable outcomes within a fraction of the time.
