Carbon Craft Design has secured financial assistance from the Technology Development Board (TDB), under the Department of Science & Technology (DST), to support the commercialization of eco-friendly, ultra-low carbon footprint wall claddings.
The agreement aligns with the Government of India’s commitment to promoting sustainable industrial growth and circular economy practices.
The project, titled “Commercialization of the Eco-friendly Ultra Low Carbon Footprint Wall Claddings,” will see Carbon Craft Design establish a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility for geopolymer-based tiles developed using indigenous technology.
The initiative is aimed at accelerating the adoption of sustainable building materials in India’s construction sector while strengthening domestic manufacturing capabilities.

Carbon Craft Design is a design and material innovation startup focused on developing ultra-low carbon, circular economy-based building materials by utilizing construction and demolition waste.
Through its proprietary technology, the company enables the permanent sequestration of industrial byproducts into value-added products such as tiles, aggregates, and bricks.
The proposed geopolymer wall claddings developed by Carbon Craft Design are sustainable, high-performance tiles manufactured using recycled quartz waste and multi-grade quartz sand through specialized processing and blending techniques.
Notably, the manufacturing process eliminates the need for energy-intensive kiln firing, significantly reducing carbon emissions associated with conventional tile production.
Carbon Craft Design: Expanding Market Access for Sustainable Building Materials
Speaking on the occasion, Rajesh Kumar Pathak, Secretary, TDB, stated, “The transition to sustainable construction materials is critical for achieving India’s climate goals and net-zero ambitions. By supporting innovative startups like Carbon Craft, TDB is enabling the commercialization of indigenous technologies that reduce carbon footprint, promote waste valorisation, and strengthen India’s green manufacturing ecosystem.”
The founders of Carbon Craft Design expressed gratitude for the support extended by TDB and noted that the financial assistance would accelerate the scale-up of manufacturing capabilities and expand market access for sustainable building materials.
