Lead Inventor of Pozzotive®
Louis P. Grasso Jr., LEED AP, is the Lead Inventor of Pozzotive®, a Founding Partner of Urban Mining Industries, LLC and Chief Executive Officer of Urban Mining CT LLC, a licensed regional producer of Pozzotive®. Pozzotive® is a ground glass pozzolan and industrial filler made from 100% recycled post-consumer glass. It is a safer, sustainable and higher-performing material that dramatically reduces embodied CO2 emissions in concrete. Through a patented process, the post-consumer glass is processed into a fine, powder-like substance. Pozzotive® can be incorporated into the design matrix used in various products including concrete, paints, and polymers. Using Pozzotive® curbs CO2 emissions, diverts glass from landfills, reduces the need for virgin mined materials, and contributes to a circular economy.
