What Investors Want to Know: How Zirconia Is Making Infrastructure Immortal
In the United States, more than 45,000 U.S. bridges and 1 in 5 miles of roads are in poor condition. How come our infrastructure degrades so quickly if the Roman Empire’s Coliseum is still standing? For Benjamin Cook, founder and CEO of Zirconia, the concrete of our infrastructure is simply not made to last, it’s meant to be cheap. Ironically, low-quality materials are more expensive long-term than long-lasting ones. That’s why Cook and his team recreated the material used by the Romans as a coating to combine anti-erosion properties with cheap costs.
