What Bio Bound does
Bio Bound is a privately-held Dutch manufacturer founded around 2017 and headquartered in Cruquius, Netherlands, that develops and produces circular, biobased concrete products for public space infrastructure. The company's core technology combines recycled concrete aggregate (betonpuingranulaat) from secondary material streams with miscanthus (elefantsgras/elephant grass) cultivated near Schiphol Airport, yielding concrete products with a documented 57% lower environmental impact than standard concrete (MKI value of €6.05) and approximately 127 kg CO2 reduction per cubic meter. The product portfolio spans concrete street pavers, tiles, slabs, RWS (Rijkswaterstaat) kerbs, foundation piers, benches, retaining walls, grass concrete tiles, wildlife passages, coupled cycle path slabs, biobased joint mortar, and the patented Kolkdrain stormwater drainage system; all products are backed by a Take-Back certificate enabling closed-loop material recovery at end of life.
Bio Bound sells primarily to Dutch and Belgian government entities (municipalities, provinces, ProRail), architects and engineering firms specifying materials for tenders, and construction contractors executing public infrastructure projects. Sales are quote-based project transactions conducted through a direct sales motion led by account managers Gert van Oort and Jaap Schotanus, supported by a bestekservice (specification portal) for tender documentation. Production is asset-light, executed through channel partners Morssinkhof Groep and Morssinkhof Infra in the Netherlands and Ebema in Belgium, with proprietary formulation and IP retained by Bio Bound. The company holds Dutch patent 2021223 and a separate Kolkdrain patent, and operates under KIWA, NEN-EN 1338/1339/1340/13670, and BRL 2314 certifications with products registered in the National Environmental Database (NMD) for DuboCalc-based procurement scoring.
The business model is project-based sales of physical infrastructure products priced per unit or per project, with pricing undisclosed publicly and MKI value used as the differentiator in sustainability-scored public tenders. Named customers span 15+ organizations including ProRail (station renovation tiles), Gemeente Zaanstad (Rooswijk revitalization), Provincie Oost-Vlaanderen (Archeocentrum Velzeke parking), Dijklander Ziekenhuis (hospital plaza), TU Delft (campus flower beds), and Schiphol Trade Park, indicating traction across rail, municipal, provincial, healthcare, education, and real estate segments. Bio Bound has no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and operates as an independent entity with international expansion currently limited to Belgium via the Ebema partnership.

Bio Bound competitors and assessment
Company assessmentOthers
- Madaster: Dutch/EU materials registry platform for tracking circularity and embodied carbon in buildings and infrastructure — operates in the same circular-construction ecosystem as Bio Bound, sharing overlapping customers (architects, municipalities, developers) but as an enabling/data layer rather than a product competitor.
Emerging players
- StoneCycling: Dutch startup producing building materials from demolition waste (including concrete), with comparable circular-economy positioning and Dutch/Belgian/European customer base in sustainable construction. Smaller and more design/façade focused than Bio Bound but materially comparable on mission and feedstock.
- Renewlogy / Sustonable: Producer of biocomposite/circular surface materials incorporating recycled content for architectural and urban applications. Overlaps with Bio Bound on the circular materials thesis and on urban/architectural customer segments, though the substrate (resin-bound composites vs. concrete) differs.
Direct peers
- Morssinkhof Groep / Morssinkhof Infra: Morssinkhof is both Bio Bound's primary NL channel partner and a direct competitor in the sustainable paving market — one of the largest paving-material producers in the Netherlands, actively incorporating recycled concrete and energy-efficient processes into its own product lines. Highly comparable in product category, customer base (Dutch GWW), and circular-economy positioning.
- Ebema: Belgian paving and concrete products producer that is Bio Bound's BE channel partner and a comparable peer for the Belgian market — produces concrete kerbs, pavers, and slabs for public space with growing focus on sustainable offerings, serving the same Belgian municipal/provincial customers.
Regional players
- Beton De Bonte: Belgian precast concrete products manufacturer serving Belgian GWW and infrastructure projects — direct regional competitor to Bio Bound/Ebema partnership for Belgian public-sector concrete tenders, with overlapping product lines in paving, kerbs, and structural elements.
Broad incumbents
- BORAL (now part of Seven Group): Large building materials group with concrete products operations and a lower-carbon product push, comparable in product category (concrete pavers, masonry) but operating primarily in Australia/US rather than Europe — relevant as a benchmark for sustainability positioning in mainstream concrete.
- Cemex (Cemex SAB de CV): Global cement and ready-mix producer with a Vertua lower-carbon concrete portfolio, competing for sustainability-mandated infrastructure tenders across Europe. Direct overlap with Bio Bound on the GWW / public-sector procurement segment at a vastly larger scale.
- CRH plc: One of the world's largest building materials groups, with significant European concrete products operations serving public infrastructure. Has launched its own lower-carbon concrete products and competes for the same Dutch/Belgian GWW tenders with the benefit of scale and incumbency.
- Heidelberg Materials (Holcim / Heidelberg): Global cement and concrete major with a portfolio of low-carbon concrete brands (e.g., ECOPact, ECOPlanet) directly targeting the same sustainability-driven public procurement market. Operates at vastly larger scale than Bio Bound across Europe, but the overlap on circular/lower-carbon concrete for GWW projects is direct.
