# Econcreed

> Econcreed (Profluid IP B.V., based in the Netherlands) develops and licenses a patented fibre-treatment technology that turns biobased plant fibres — such as elephant grass (Miscanthus) and other Poaceae — into durable inputs for concrete and construction materials. The treated fibres improve durability, thermal performance, and water resistance while enabling long-term biogenic carbon storage in the built environment. Econcreed is a technology provider and supply-chain enabler, not a concrete manufacturer. The technology is protected by European Patent EP 3473605 A1.
