The best way to predict the future is to build it.
Building a resilient future begins with changing our priorities today. Shifting the industry towards material health, circularity, and renewable ingredients is up to us. Now is the time to demand higher performance and deeper carbon sequestration.
This is no longer a wish list: Cast Carbon is ready to scale.
Meet our Co-Founder and formula developer:
Emily Majewski
Emily is a formally trained horticulturist. The first half of her career as a landscape designer focused on biomimetic systems thinking and the study of human ecology.
With a passion for re-wilding our built environment, Emily started experimenting, as a layperson, with material science and nature-inspired chemistries. Several years after forming the material atelier, Phytostone, Emily began incorporating carbon in her formulations. Thousands of bench-scale experiments later, Cast Carbon emerged, an extrudable form of cementitious cellulose.
Emily is driven by the fact that today is when we build tomorrow. And that for bold, nature-aligned visions to manifest, we need transcendent materials that can build new worlds.

Susan helps building material and architectural product companies grow sales by helping them become the brand that specifiers repeatedly select and are willing to defend.
The beginning
of a carbon
revolution:
building with biochar.
Meeting UN Sustainable Development Goals requires new materiality and a circular economy. Cast Carbon is the way to get there.
Created with 50% plant-based carbon and 50% binding minerals, Cast Carbon is critical for an increasingly climate-conscious construction industry. By using our building materials to sequester carbon, the built environment becomes the solution rather than the problem.
Be part of the genesis of a new healthy building material.
Cast Carbon is a biomaterial made from 50% plant-based carbon and 50% pure minerals.
Our biochar is made with agricultural residues and pine waste normally destined for the landfill or burning. Both biochar types help preserve our forests by using “orphaned” biomass rather than virgin sources.
Let’s get to the why.
The natural world offers a myriad of material alchemies that are strong, beautiful, and healthy for everyone. Nature is the ultimate materials engineer, creating enduring materials with low energy inputs, every day. From bones to stones, shells to horns and heartwood, nature has taught us how to create high-performance materials without compromising our health or the planet.
Phytostone, the company behind Cast Carbon, started by asking the question, “Why can’t our building materials be made the same way?”
After years of development, we’re proving they can.
