Grimshaw and UEL develop sugarcane-waste blocks that "could replace the traditional brick industry"

[@Apsis0215]

Was the waste returned to the field to compost for next season and did it offer and benefits to next year's crop or. or? if it did the soil will have to be fortified for next years crops. And though it is closed carbon systems, how much of an impact does sugarcane have compared to hemp or other fibrous plant products? Great thinking and we need to look at all options and impacts.

01:20 I love the use of Sodium Silicate liquid as a binder! We would like to produce it using the Glass Cullet we get from our bottle crusher.

[@mecharena-darshan_05_36]

Is this the same binder which is shown in the video?

[@SanjayKapoorDelhi]

Wonderful innovation! Congratulations

[@javierpacheco8234]

Awesome that is another new material for architecture.

[@MuhammadShafayetHossain]

What is that binding liquid? Is that efficient to reduce carbon footprint?

[@Sangamkr]

This is a different approach to reuse the waste from sugarcane but not a replacent for traditional brick industry. let me explain: Brick is made from soil/mud. which is abundant in our world (relatively) where as for sugarcane blocks, it only depends on growth of sugarcane and further processes. so if you need more bricks for a building, you need the farmers to grow more sugarcane, i.e more land used for sugarcane. and who accouns for the fertilizers and other chemicals used to grow these to pollute the soil? and traditional soil bricks have good fire proofing properties, compared to sugarcane bricks.

[@mytravls]

But they are already growing more. India is he second largest producer of sugar and it all comes from the sugarcane

[@myohmy-fb9ns]

Yes and these are the rests of the cane ​@@mytravls

[@presleykevogo742]

Wow! Simply amazing

[@viswandralallmayeputh1461]

How can I start a factory for this?

[@chhayasonwani4914]

Is it waterproof?

[@kummer45]

Let me be that guy. How much it cost to produce ONE brick block? How much it cost to produce ONE sugarcane block? Let me be that guy again. How much energy requires the production of ONE brick block? How much energy requires the production of ONE sugarcane block? Lesson that I learned with time: Even "green building" and "green products" that are beneficial for the environment and durability/reuse of the building requires COMPLEX MANUFACTURE/ENERGY CONSUMPTION procedure than the standard product. If your new product BEATS the standard one we can safely say that such product achieved a "TECHNOLOGY". :3 Edit: I like the grasshopper 3D aggregate modular approach of the block. That was clever.

[@dudule1232]

what is the binding material ? Has anything useful been made with this ? Is it cost effective ?

[@Eduardoeha]

No, pero Ud puede comenzar, tiene algún proyecto o idea?

[@mistisoline9171]

can you tell me what binder you used?

[@civilengineeringbytelugu5784]

Hello sir, I'm from AP, i have a small dough about u r experiment. What is the binder using in experiment sir

[@mrassiwala2000]

I have made so many products of bagas but required expert asistent so many products we ll make from bagas

[@MachucaPermies]

We are looking to connect with local sugar cane farmers here in Costa Rica to start producing sugarcrete blocks and SCBA (bagasse ash). Any other education resources for our company in English or Spanish would be much appreciated as we learn these new methods of low cost sustainable construction alternatives in the tropics. Gracias!

[@ArmorGR]

Hello Machuca Permaculture please reach out if you want to explore this exciting collaboration opportunity

[@MachucaPermies]

@@ArmorGR I would love to connect. Please can you pass on your email address for me to do so? Thanks, Oliver

[@ArmorGR]

@@MachucaPermies Hi Oliver if you give me a contact email I will get in touch thanks

[@MachucaPermies]

@@ArmorGR I cannot give you an email over youtube unfortunately, i tried twice!

[@intimidate2161]

Doesn't SCBA (bagasse ash) create carbon? Is the carbon reclaimed so it doesn't make it back into the atmosphere?

[@SatishKanchustambam]

Is it available in40*70*1300 sizes and it is use full replacement with packing wood

[@charlestaconi6519]

Deck support? framing

[@sunilgowdahr7708]

Can I get the the report pls

[@Creative-v4c]

Any idea or availability in India? Any company?

[@BeyzaByza]

It reminds me the adobe bricks

[@paulkalff6408]

Indeed.....how well does this material absorb lead? Adobe does a fine job, or at least it did when it was used. The beneficiary would still need a ciggy butt and a blindfold!

[@akinolasarumoh7060]

Way to go.

[@chitrasingh44]

Have any production efforts begun in India around this?

[@simosoritis6019]

It’s already used in India to make food trays

[@charlestaconi6519]

Watre proof? cost

[@jitubugale5892]

We are in business of sugarcane juice and by products Are you looking for waste sugarcane after use

brick industry isn't even the problem

Tal vez por los grandes hornos de leña que se usa para cocer los ladrillos tradicionales
