ADVANCED TECH CRETE ANNOUNCES PATENT FILING FOR “BINDER REDUCING FORMULA” TO ENABLE SUSTAINABLE CONCRETE

Advanced Tech Crete, LLC (ATC) announced it has successfully filed its patent for a proprietary Binder Reducing Formula (BRF) with the United States Patent Office (USPTO) as well as under the Patent Cooperation Treaty covering the majority of countries outside of the United States and formally in China.

This is the first step in a process for ATC to bring its BRF to market – a super additive that can currently decarbonize concrete by up to 50%.

“We built a world-class concrete testing lab and know that our product is one of the few real solutions for the decarbonization of concrete that is available TODAY.” said Frank Caruso, co-founder of Advanced Tech Crete.

According to Caruso, after more than three years of research and development, Advanced Tech Crete has cracked the code with a product that uses less cement powder, reduces CO2, and maintains the mechanical strength of concrete.

Dubbed “The New Science of Concrete ” Advanced Tech Crete Binder Reducing Formula (BRF) is simply added to a typical ready-mix truck at the plant or onsite requiring no change in workflow. ATC’s BRF product offers a highly dispersed and suspended proprietary blend of nano-particles in liquid that when combined with the other typical materials of concrete also eliminates the need for other admixtures and Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs). ATC’s BRF works with Portland I/II and Portland IL.

“The climate goals for CO2 reduction in the concrete industry will require it to leverage products like ours in addition to the many ambitious and unproven attempts such as carbon capture, new processes for cement manufacturing and new forms of green concrete that will take years to deploy at scale, if at all, ” Caruso asserted.  “Today, we can remove the need for Portland cement heavy concrete mixes resulting in a 1 ton of Portland removal to 1 tonne of CO2 removal.  That is attractive to leading materials companies, oil and gas companies, large scale developers, ready-mix operators and those interested in leaving a better environment for our children,” said Caruso.

To expand its sustainability, the Company is also working to develop its carbon offsets currency with the major registries and achieving certification with ASTM, ASI and Verra, where a third-party will validate Advanced Tech Crete’s Binder Reducing Formula products for wide commercial use and mitigation of CO2.

To stay relevant, PH mall chain evolves with the times

To stay relevant, PH mall chain evolves with the times

The term “malling” has been in use since the late 1970s and meant just that — a trip to the mall to hang out with friends, shop for groceries, have a meal or catch a movie. For decades, it was a favorite pastime of many, but consumers’ needs have changed and continue evolving. “We are seeing that Filipinos care more about experiences than just buying things,” said Steven Tan, president of SM Supermalls, at a media briefing held Sept. 10. To meet that shift in demand, the country’s largest mall chain has been going beyond expanding its footprint by providing spaces and serving as a venue for Filipinos to explore their varied interests. That evolution is reflected in the way SM Supermalls is reshaping its spaces and programming to respond to the activities and experiences that matter most to consumers today. Among the clearest indications of that shift is the growing interest in wellness and social activities, which malls are increasingly incorporating into their spaces and events. Over 40,000 runners participated in the Galaxy Manila Marathon and SM2SM Cebu events this year. “The numbers we’re seeing for active lifestyle are really amazing,” Tan said, adding that wellness is now part of people’s daily routines. “We now have 102 pickleball courts spread across 32 SM malls nationwide.” The arts have also long been championed by the chain. In the ‘90s, one of the upper floors at SM Megamall was devoted to art galleries and exhibits. Since then, its cultural offerings have expanded with the opening of Museo del Galeon, events like Art for Everyone, and interactive campaigns like Gala to the Max. Tan also announced key milestones for the chain, including the newly opened SM Seaside Cebu Arena and the launch of SM Supermalls’ 90th location in Zamboanga City earlier this year. “With 25,000 seats, SM Seaside Cebu Arena is actually bigger than our Mall of Asia Arena. It will now bring world-class concepts, concerts, and major sporting events in the Visayas region,” he said. “[The Zamboanga opening], meanwhile, marks another major step in deepening our presence across Mindanao, bringing lifestyle experiences to even more communities.” By November this year, SM Nuvali will open along the South Luzon corridor. Once operational, the sprawling mall will house the country’s first LED cinema screen experience of its kind. Matching consumer demand, SM’s tenant footprint grew four percent in the first half of 2026, surpassing 23,000 tenants nationwide. “Food, leisure, and lifestyle concepts are leading the demand right now,” said Hanna Carinna Sy, senior assistant vice president for marketing and leasing. “We’re actively curating a mix that keeps shoppers staying longer.” Over the next six months, several existing malls will undergo property upgrades, including SM City Iloilo, SM City Naga, SM City Santo Tomas in Batangas, and SM Aura. Beyond retail, SM has been supporting local economies by partnering with nearly 900 small businesses daily, hosting trade fairs for 3,000 entrepreneurs, and connecting over 330,000 job seekers through more than 500 job fairs. Its environmental programs also focus on nationwide plastic collection and solar power integration. “We want to grow, but we want to grow responsibly,” Tan said, noting that the company aims to build lasting opportunities and spaces where communities can connect.
