NBA player-turned-actor Rick Fox has a new passion: sustainable concrete. His startup Partanna built its first carbon-negative home in the Bahamas.
A new house in the Bahamas is built with an alternative concrete that sucks CO2 out of the air. It’s a home that’s supposed to help in the fight against climate change, and the plan is to build 999 more like it. That’s the slam dunk NBA Lakers legend-turned-actor Rick Fox is working toward now on the small island nation where he grew up. Fox is the CEO and co-founder of the sustainable building materials startup Partanna that unveiled its first home today.
Even if that structure is demolished, the material holds onto the CO2 and can be reused as an aggregate to make more of the alternative concrete. That’s how the startup and can call its material and the newly constructed home “carbon negative.” The 1,250-square-foot structure is supposed to have captured as much CO2 as 5,200 mature trees a year. To be sure, carbon-counting with trees is tricky.
