Waste glass gets a second life in construction blocks | Researchers have developed a way to use powdered discarded glass in building blocks for construction, which could make this versatile material a lot more sustainable.
Glass isn't as easy to recycle as we might think, so we need as many ways to turn it into new products as we can devise. Researchers at the University of Portsmouth have developed a way to use powdered discarded glass in building blocks for construction, which could make this versatile material a…
Researchers at the University of Portsmouth have developed a way to use powdered discarded glass in building blocks for construction, which could make this versatile material a lot more sustainable. Other than that, you're looking at a promising way to make use of waste glass that would otherwise require a lot of energy and resources to refine, transport, and distribute in a traditional recycling process. CEBs are great for low-rise residential and community buildings (like schools and clinics) in climates with low to moderate humidity; they're not suitable for high-rise constructions common in developed cities.
