Minolite, a Valunor technology
Minolite is developing lightweight aggregates that enhance the performance of building materials and enable the construction of sustainable cities and communities. Our carbon-free production process upcycles recycled glass into high-value circular products that outperform all existing lightweight aggregates in the market today.
Lightweight Aggregates for Smarter, Stronger Construction
Minolite lightweight aggregates are ideal for a wide range of construction applications, as shown above—including precast walls, high-rise floor slabs, thermal insulation systems, facade panels, mortars, screeds and lightweight concrete blocks. By reducing structural weight and improving thermal, acoustic, and fire performance, Minolite helps deliver more efficient, durable, and sustainable building solutions.

Performance of Minolite products for floating concrete structures
Thanks to their very high strength resistance, low water absorption, and very low average density of 0.3 g/cm3, Minolite products make it possible to produce high-performance floating structures.
By partially replacing normal aggregates, you can develop innovative solutions to avoid the use of plastic polymers in these structures.
Minolite is a completely environmentally green technology that uses recycled materials without CO2 emissions during its manufacturing process and crucially, has no polymer in its formulation. Thus, by completely avoiding the risk of dispersion of microplastics in water, it is totally harmless to the environment.
Minolite can be applied in many applications such as floating marina decks, sea and lake platforms, fish farming structures, floating housing, offshore wind turbines, and solar panel solutions.

Valunor Showcases Minolite at Betong Norge Concrete Industry Days 2024
We are very pleased to have participated in the Betong Norge Concrete Industry Days held on January 30th and 31st at Oslo Airport. The event was a great success with over 250 participants and engaging seminars. We received significant interest in our Minolite Light Weight Aggregates, which contribute to manufacturing lightweight construction materials while promoting the circular economy and reducing CO2 emissions in the industry. A heartfelt thank you from the Valunor team to the Betong Norge organization for hosting such a valuable event.
