ECOLOGICAL MATERIALS

ECO-FRIENDLY BUILDING MATERIAL IS A TYPE OF MATERIAL THAT DOESN'T HARM THE

ENVIRONMENT, WHETHER IN ITS PRODUCTION, USE OR DISPOSAL AND CAN EASILY BE RECYCLED.
USING ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIALS IS HUGELY BENEFICIAL IN THE LONG RUN.

STONE
HEMPCRETE
FAB BRICK
NATURAL AND ABUNDANT: STONE IS A NATURALLY OCCURRING
FABBRICKS ARE ECO-FRIENDLY BRICKS CREATED BY REPURPOSING TEXTILE WASTE, WHICH IS HEMPCRETE IS A BIOCOMPOSITE MATERIAL MATERIAL, OFTEN ABUNDANT IN THE EARTH. UNLIKE SYNTHETIC
TYPICALLY A CHALLENGING MATERIAL TO RECYCLE HEMPCRETE IS MADE FROM HEMP HURDS, WHICH ARE THE INNER WOODY PART OF THE HEMP MATERIALS THAT REQUIRE CHEMICAL PROCESSING, STONE IS
MATERIAL COMPOSITION: PLANT'S STEM, AND A LIME BINDER. RELATIVELY SIMPLE TO EXTRACT AND USE WITH MINIMAL
PERVIOUS CONCRETE TEXTILE WASTE: SAND CAN ALSO BE ADDED TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF LIME BINDER AND TO PROVIDE ALTERATION TO ITS NATURAL FORM.
ECO-FRIENDLY BINDERS THERMAL MASS DURABILITY: STONE IS INCREDIBLY DURABLE AND HAS A LONG
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT: PERVIOUS CONCRETE IS POROUS, ALLOWING WATER TO PASS MANUFACTURING PROCESS: LIFESPAN. STRUCTURES BUILT WITH STONE CAN LAST FOR
THROUGH IT AND INFILTRATE THE SOIL BELOW. TEXTILE SHREDDING: FIRST, TEXTILE WASTE IS SHREDDED INTO SMALL FIBERS. THIS STEP ECO-FRIENDLY AND CARBON-NEGATIVE: HEMP PLANTS ABSORB LARGE AMOUNTS OF CO₂ AS CENTURIES,
REDUCES URBAN HEAT ISLAND EFFECT: PERVIOUS CONCRETE TYPICALLY REFLECTS MORE REDUCES BULK AND CREATES A MATERIAL THAT CAN BE EASILY COMPACTED. THEY GROW. ADDITIONALLY, THE LIME BINDER IN HEMPCRETE CONTINUES TO ABSORB CO₂ ENERGY EFFICIENCY: STONE HAS EXCELLENT THERMAL MASS,
LIGHT AND ALLOWS AIR TO CIRCULATE THROUGH ITS PORES, MIXING AND BINDING: THE SHREDDED FIBERS ARE THEN MIXED WITH A BINDING AGENT, OVER ITS LIFETIME, MAKING HEMPCRETE A CARBON-NEGATIVE MATERIAL. MEANING IT CAN ABSORB, STORE, AND RELEASE HEAT. THIS
IMPROVES WATER QUALITY: AS WATER PASSES THROUGH PERVIOUS CONCRETE, IT FORMING A PASTE-LIKE MIXTURE. RENEWABLE AND NON-TOXIC: HEMP GROWS QUICKLY (WITHIN 3-4 MONTHS), MAKING IT A PROPERTY HELPS MAINTAIN TEMPERATURE STABILITY IN
UNDERGOES NATURAL FILTRATION. COMPRESSION: THIS MIXTURE IS COMPRESSED INTO MOLDS TO CREATE UNIFORM BRICK RENEWABLE RESOURCE. HEMPCRETE CONTAINS NO HARMFUL CHEMICALS OR SYNTHETIC BUILDINGS.
REDUCED NEED FOR ADDITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE: WITH ITS ABILITY TO MANAGE SHAPES. THE COMPRESSION STEP IS CRUCIAL FOR CREATING A COMPACT, DURABLE BRICK. ADDITIVES, CONTRIBUTING TO HEALTHIER INDOOR ENVIRONMENTS. MINIMAL PROCESSING: MANY TYPES OF STONE, LIKE LIMESTONE
STORMWATER, PERVIOUS CONCRETE CAN MINIMIZE THE NEED FOR COSTLY DRAINAGE DRYING AND HARDENING: FINALLY, THE BRICKS ARE DRIED, ALLOWING THE BINDER TO CURE DURABILITY AND FIRE RESISTANCE: LIME’S BINDING PROPERTIES PROVIDE DURABILITY, AND SANDSTONE, REQUIRE MINIMAL PROCESSING BEYOND
SYSTEMS, AND SOLIDIFY THE STRUCTURE. WHILE HEMP’S FIBROUS STRUCTURE MAKES HEMPCRETE NATURALLY FIRE-RESISTANT. CUTTING AND SHAPING.
RECYCLABLE: STONE IS 100% RECYCLABLE. WHEN STRUCTURES
MADE FROM STONE REACH THE END OF THEIR LIFE CYCLE, THE
STONE CAN BE REPURPOSED OR REUSED IN NEW BUILDINGS OR AS
AGGREGATE IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION.
LOW CARBON FOOTPRINT: WHILE QUARRYING STONE CAN RESULT
IN CARBON EMISSIONS, THE OVERALL CARBON FOOTPRINT OF
STONE IS RELATIVELY LOW COMPARED TO MANY MODERN BUILDING
MATERIALS.

SUGARCRETE RICE HUSK BRICKS ECOTHERM BRICKS

RICE HUSK BRICKS ARE ECO-FRIENDLY, SUSTAINABLE BUILDING MATERIALS MADE BY THESE ARE MADE FROM CLAY.THEIR COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH IS HIGHER THAN BRICKS
SUGARCRETE IS A SUSTAINABLE, BIO-BASED CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL MADE BY COMBINING
INCORPORATING RICE HUSKS INTO A BINDING MATRIX, OFTEN WITH CEMENT, CLAY, OR EVEN MAKING THEM MORE DURABLE AND STRONG
SUGARCANE BYPRODUCTS (SUCH AS BAGASSE, WHICH IS THE FIBROUS RESIDUE LEFT AFTER
POLYMER RESINS. E CAN INTERLOCK THEM AND BUILD A WALL AND USE MORTAR ONLY FOR VERTICAL

LOW CARBON FOOTPRINT,LIGHTWEIGHT AND INSULATING,BIODEGRADABLE BAMBOO
THERMAL INSULATION: ECOTHERM BRICKS HAVE HIGH THERMAL INSULATION PROPERTIES,
95 % LOWER CARBON IMPACT THAN CONCRETE BLOCKS
THERMAL INSULATION: THE POROUS NATURE OF RICE HUSKS HELPS PROVIDE GOOD REDUCING THE NEED FOR ARTIFICIAL HEATING AND COOLING, MAKING THEM IDEAL FOR BOTH BAMBOO IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE MOST ECO-FRIENDLY

SUSTAINABLE: BY RECYCLING RICE HUSKS, THESE BRICKS REDUCE THE NEED FOR NON- SUSTAINABLE COMPOSITION: MADE FROM NATURAL MATERIALS AND OFTEN INCORPORATING BAMBOO REQUIRES LESS WATER COMPARED TO MANY OTHER
RENEWABLE MATERIALS AND MINIMIZE CARBON EMISSIONS RECYCLED CONTENT LIKE FLY ASH, ECOTHERM BRICKS HAVE A LOWER CARBON FOOTPRINT CROPS. THIS MAKES IT A MORE WATER-EFFICIENT OPTION,
DURABILITY: WHEN COMBINED WITH PROPER BINDING AGENTS, RICE HUSK BRICKS CAN COMPARED TO CONVENTIONAL BRICKS. ESPECIALLY IN REGIONS WHERE WATER IS A LIMITED RESOURCE.
ACHIEVE SUFFICIENT STRENGTH AND DURABILITY BAMBOO IS INCREDIBLY STRONG FOR ITS WEIGHT. IT HAS A TENSILE
STRENGTH COMPARABLE TO STEEL AND A STRENGTH-TO-WEIGHT
RATIO HIGHER THAN MANY CONVENTIONAL CONSTRUCTION
MATERIALS.
BAMBOO IS COMPLETELY BIODEGRADABLE, MEANING IT DOESN’T
CONTRIBUTE TO WASTE IN LANDFILLS ONCE IT REACHES THE END
OF ITS LIFE CYCLE.
BAMBOO’S NATURAL INSULATING PROPERTIES CAN HELP REGULATE
TEMPERATURE IN BUILDINGS, REDUCING THE NEED FOR ARTIFICIAL
HEATING AND COOLING, WHICH IN TURN LOWERS ENERGY
CONSUMPTION.
