The production of concrete reached 2023 the 26.3 Millions of cubic meters only in Spaina peak that reveals the enormous impact environmental of the sector. This scenario opened the door to innovative solutions that reduce the consumption of materials without sacrificing efficiency or structural security.
One of the most disruptive systems is called Bubbleedeck and is changing the way buildings are built in different parts of the world. Use plastic spheres recycled Inside concrete slabs, achieving more structures Light, resistant and with less ecological footprint.

With millions at play and a growing environmental impact, a new technology with plastic spheres seeks to transform construction forever.
How the slabs with plastic spheres work
The principle of operation of Bubbleedeck It is based on replacing concrete that does not fulfill structural functions by High density plastic spheres. These are located between steel meshes and allow to reduce up to a 35% The dead weight of the slabs.
-This decrease allows greater freedom to design, less columns and a lower need for foundation. But in addition, when integrating plastic tubes systems for heating and cooling, these slabs manage to preserve the temperature of the environment efficiently.
They function as inverted radiant soils: they absorb and release heat according to the station, which translates into energy savings between 30% and 50%. An attractive option for those who seek sustainability and technology in housing.
What advantages this system against traditional concrete
In addition to reduce the use of polluting materialsS, bubbledck slabs offer greater security against fires and better structural response against earthquakes. The plastic spheres do not emit toxic gases and help the system be more resistant to fire.
This type of construction is already used in more than one million of square meters distributed in countries such as Denmark, Australia, Italy and the Netherlands. It was even implemented in the Piemonte Tower skyscraper in Turin, of more than 200 meters.
In Latin America, An Argentine firm also developed a version of the system and applied it in projects such as the Ezeiza airport and several single -family homes, demonstrating that it is possible to innovate without losing robustness or quality.
