The aim of the project is to explore sustainable building solutions by recycling biological waste from sugarcane, which in turn reduces carbon emissions in the construction industry \u2013 all while prioritizing social and environmental sustainability during the production and implementation of these building materials.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The main innovation of Sugarcrete is to challenge the established misconception that biomaterials have low structural performance and create a material with enough structural strength to be self-supporting,&#8221; says Armor Gutierrez Rivas, Senior Architecture Professor. Essentially, Sugarcrete is created by combining bagasse with mineral binders. The final product is lighter than traditional brick and only has 15-20% of its carbon footprint. Using a fraction of 30% of global bagasse production, Sugarcrete would have the potential to completely replace the traditional brick industry, resulting in savings of 1.08 billion tons of CO2 (equivalent to 3% of global carbon dioxide production).<\/p>\n<p>Sugarcane has a fast growth rate and is up to 50 times more efficient than forestry when it comes to converting CO2 into biomass, making it a high-priority material for achieving net zero emissions. In addition, the material has good structural characteristics and is insulating, fire resistant, easy to use with unskilled labor, and has a simplified supply chain due to its simple composition.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/1001501\/from-agro-waste-to-sustainable-structures-concrete-made-from-sugarcane\">Arch Daily<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-369\/\">From Agro-Waste to Sustainable Structures: Concrete Made from Sugarcane<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[2171,3802,575,10113],"class_list":["post-114457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-building","tag-concrete","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-sugarcane"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114457","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114457"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114457\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
