Ingenia Concretos is dedicated to creating construction materials such as photo-catalytic and permeable concrete, which are sustainable materials. They are also working on a new housing project, called "Sustainable Housing," which provides opportunities to obtain sustainable housing using the materials they manufacture. All this arose since many people do not want to buy sustainable material because they think it is a green product. It can be more expensive or even that they do not know how to put it to good use, so they chose to create architectural designs that provide more square meters with this technology.

Ingenia Concretos, in its "sustainable housing" project, has had an impact on Torreón, where the project was implemented in a neighborhood with 10 families; in Chiapas, only two were built. A project is currently being worked on in Guatemala, and it is estimated that they will be around 20 to 30 houses by 2021.

Ingenia Concretos, with the elaboration of the concrete, intends to leave a positive impact on the environment and the construction of houses, thus focusing on building more urban communities more responsibly and sustainably.

The concrete produced by Ingenia Concretos helps us clean the equivalent of the pollution generated by one vehicle per year.
