Collaboration between Takazuri and BASF to enhance climate-resilient construction in Eastern Africa

It is not just about sustainable infrastructure; it’s about fostering sustainable communities.

Takazuri and BASF have joined forces to develop durable smart building solutions for Eastern Africa. These solutions focus on climate resilience and sustainability, incorporating Takazuri's Climatile™ technology, which uses locally sourced and converted post-consumer materials.

Climatile™ offers superior insulation and solar reflection properties compared to standard metal roofs. It keeps roofs and walls cooler, enhances indoor temperatures, and provides a safe rainwater-harvesting surface without rusting.

To protect the system against the region's unique weather conditions, BASF has tailored specific additive packages that enable Climatile™ to withstand long-term outdoor exposure.

This partnership aims to deliver long-lasting, eco-friendly solutions that foster economic growth in Africa and positively impact the construction industry and local communities.
