About PHOMI Holding

Forerunner of eco-environmental material science.

PHOMI HOLDING, forerunner of eco-environmental material science! Founded in 2008, focusing on the research, development and production of econiclay based materials, we are committed to providing carbon-neutral material solutions to the world. With start-up mentality we develop up-to-date, sustainable material solutions for new challenges of living on our planet.

We use modern technologies of the digital age, combine them with the knowledge of traditional handcraft to create sustainable, ecofriendly and inspiring materials for the humans in the centerpiece of our minds. As a technical enabler, we give our material solutions and knowledge to partners to spread it worldwide. How to benefit the entire world with increasing application possibilities of econiclay products is the responsibility we assume for society and the human future.

Econiclay / key message

Responsibility, built into the material.

The econiclay products boast a Class A fire rating, enhancing fire safety in application areas and thereby increasing community safety, ultimately contributing to social equity.

Material Health

econiclay uses natural materials such as soil, stone waste, and non-metallic tailings as its raw materials. A meticulous process of collection, sorting, and screening ensures the quality of these materials. After being transformed into micro-level powders, specialized surfactants are applied to create a protective, multi-layered network structure, effectively preventing the release of harmful substances. This commitment to material quality guarantees that econiclay products are free from any harmful residues or emissions.

Product Circularity

The econiclay products are easy to recycle for reuse after they’re no longer preferred. They don’t break down into harmful substances, making recycling practical. Mixing econiclay with other materials can create durable and flexible products, reducing the need for plastic and extending product lifespans. This conserves resources and supports recycling.

Clean Air & Climate Protection

Our plant uses self-generated green electricity/steam as energy source and produce at low temperatures, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and helping decrease greenhouse gas emissions. The entire production process is environmentally friendly with no smoke, harmful gases, or wastewater released. econiclay’s inorganic properties ensures that it doesn’t emit harmful gases during use or recycling, contributing to cleaner air.

Water & Soil Stewardship

The econiclay production process conserves water resources by utilizing steam, which is efficiently transformed into production water during the condensation process. Simultaneously, the production process generates zero wastewater, making a positive contribution to the conservation of water resources. Importantly, econiclay products, being non-vitrified inorganic materials, have no detrimental impact on the soil after their lifecycle concludes, ensuring the long-term health of the land.

Social Fairness

The production process of econiclay products is designed to minimize waste, noise, and the release of harmful substances, ensuring that both workers and neighboring communities are not negatively impacted by hazardous materials or poor environmental conditions. Utilizing low-temperature manufacturing and self-generated green electricity/steam as an energy source also helps reduce environmental pollution, fostering social equity. Implementation of carbon-neutral measures further supports social sustainability.

Birth & development

From an idea in the lab to material at scale.

The development path of PHOMI MCM, from the first research program to international production and landmark projects.

2005
We are the inventor of Phomi MCM, establishing EOSD laboratory in the United States and launching the research program of MCM.
2006 — 2007
MCM products were applied as highway pavement in Mexico, building facades, and sports tracks.
2008
MCM technology was widely used in Chinese construction. Phomi MCM was granted Hi-Tech enterprise authentication.
2009 — 2016
Phomi MCM was highly evaluated at the 112th Paris International Investment Exhibition in 2013. Phomi MCM dedicated itself to changing lives and cities through a new sustainable, low-carbon way of living.
2017 — 2019
The third production base opened in Laibin, Guangxi province, increasing total production to 60,000 sq/meter per year. The first showroom in Europe opened in the Czech Republic.
2020
Iconic projects were accomplished, including Northwestern Polytechnical University Campus (260,000 sq/m) and the five-star Rosewood Hotel (50,000 sq/m).

Material lifecycle

The full cycle of wall covering.

Full lifecycle of Econiclay wall covering, from zero-carbon raw material through low-temperature processing and transport to endless recycling

Zero-carbon footprint for raw material

The basic raw material is based on inorganic solid waste such as urban construction waste, soil, stone and ceramic scrap, and non-metallic tailings.

Process

100°C molding process with green electricity and heat cogeneration.

Transportation

eCovering at 4 kg/m² versus natural stone at 70 kg/m², reducing 94% of energy consumption during transportation.

Endless recycle

When dismantled, eCovering develops into small pieces and returns to nature without detrimentally affecting the soil. Plant roots can enter the debris and grow because the material has a self-respiratory function and maintains a specific water absorption rate.
