Meet the company using discarded oyster shells to cut energy costs and keep France's buildings cool
Cool Roof France has found an innovative way to use the 130,000 tonnes of waste oysters produced every year in France.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“This technology is just pretty old actually, but this is quite innovative to make it so technical,” says Julien Martin Cocher, deputy CEO of Cool Roof France.
Cool Roof France (CRF) is on a mission to reduce the ambient temperature inside buildings in a sustainable and cost effective way.
In France, the company has worked closely with the police and government to paint the roof of a sniffer dog handling unit.
Currently, Cool Roof France mainly works with businesses, schools and hospitals to reduce the temperature inside buildings filled with hundreds of people.
The company also uses 10 per cent of its profits to help fund projects to support people living in heat vulnerable areas.
“Last year we went to Senegal, painting 30,000 square metres of buildings, schools, hospitals, individual houses and just to help people because this is part of our DNA,” says Julien.
