[Trend Trader Daily] Double-Digit Returns, Courtesy of Used Coffee Grounds September 26, 2023 Who knew that used coffee grounds could lead you to a windfall of profits... Or even help save the planet? Until a few days ago, I sure didn’t. But that was before I learned about scientists in Australia using spent coffee grounds to enhance concrete. Apparently, adding them to concrete makes the material nearly 30% stronger. And incorporating them into this building material, as opposed to dumping them in a landfill, helps cut down on greenhouse gas emissions. Color me surprised! Especially as I learned that coffee-infused concrete is merely the beginning of a significant investment opportunity. So pour yourself another cup of joe and let me explain... > ADVERTISEMENT < Early Detection Warning! Mr. Zatlin’s early detection system — a real-time market algorithm that predicts extreme events with shocking accuracy — is ringing like the bells of St. Peter’s Basilica. The bells mean a truly massive event is at hand, like a major currency collapse… or a flash crash… or even the next Tulip Mania. Gains could rival some of the market’s biggest lately (i.e. 465%... 614%... even 1,112%). [Click here for the urgent details](. The History of Concrete Admittedly, concrete might not seem like the most exciting topic to discuss. On a basic level, it’s a building material made from a mixture of broken stone or gravel, sand, cement, and water. And it’s used to create things like walls, foundations, floors, driveways, and stairways. The history of this material dates to about 1300 BC. That’s when Middle Eastern builders found that when they coated the outsides of their pounded-clay fortresses and home walls with a thin, damp coating of burned limestone, it reacted chemically with gases in the air to form a hard, protective surface. Today, according to Allied Market Research, concrete has become a $617 billion market in the U.S. alone. And it’s projected to reach $972 billion by 2030. The fact that this market is projected to grow by almost 50% by the end of the decade is eye-opening. But when you consider how high the demand for concrete is, and will continue to be, these figures start to make sense. After all... A Much-Needed Material Consider concrete’s role in supporting our growing population. This year, the global population surpassed eight billion. And the United Nations predicts it’ll rise to 8.5 billion by 2030. According to UN forecasts, by 2050, two-thirds of the world’s population will be concentrated in urban environments, where demand for concrete is high. Furthermore, think of all the homes, roads, buildings, transportation hubs, water lines, sewer lines, and electrical grids that will need building or upgrading in order to support this rising population. Critically, according to the World Resources Institute, 75% of infrastructure projects needed by 2050 aren’t even built yet. That gives concrete a bright future. But there’s a problem... Bad for the Environment According to consulting-firm McKinsey, the building-materials sector is one of the world’s highest emitters of carbon. That’s why the race is on to trim the environmental impact these materials have. Much of concrete’s carbon footprint comes from how it’s manufactured. As such, efforts to make cement and concrete “greener” are starting with the manufacturing process. Earlier, you learned about the concept of adding used coffee grounds to increase the strength of concrete. But that’s not the only way the building-materials market is looking to enhance its products... Concrete Goes High-Tech One idea that’s been gaining traction since 2017 is solar concrete. This involves layering photovoltaic cells — also known as solar cells, these cells convert light energy directly into electricity — into concrete. Think of them as being used to transform concrete blocks into mini solar panels. So far, solar concrete has been more efficient than solar panels on buildings. That explains why solar-plant firm Synhelion is working on solar-powered kilns to make this solar concrete. Another idea is “smart” concrete. You see, while concrete is strong and durable, it isn’t flexible. It also reacts over time to factors like climate, vibration, and general wear and tear. These limitations are why things like buildings, roads, and bridges need constant maintenance. And why monitoring their condition is so important. Enter smart concrete, a term for technology that can be used to monitor the status and structural integrity of things built with this material. At Purdue University, researchers are embedding tiny sensors into concrete. And these sensors can tell engineers, via a smartphone app, when the material has reached maximum strength, or if it’s beginning to break down. Look for Long-Term Growth These are cool ideas, even if, at the end of the day, we’re still talking about concrete. The tricky part is figuring out how to invest in these ideas. After all, they’re all still in their earliest stages of development or testing. And many are being spearheaded by private startups we can’t invest in. No matter. To aim to profit from this massive trend, we should turn our focus to public companies that will greatly benefit from these ideas once they’re on the market. One of the highest-potential plays in this realm is a building-materials business whose stock is already up almost 30% in the past year, and whose long-term growth potential is too good to pass up.
