Scientists have created concrete using treated human waste, and the resulting material was up to 42% stronger than conventional concrete. Researchers say the approach could reduce waste while lowering the environmental impact of construction. Read Full Article…
💩 Researchers at Manipal University Jaipur have developed concrete using biochar derived from human fecal sludge, potentially improving its properties.
💧 The new "poopcrete" showed significant strength gains, with a 10% cement replacement leading to a 21% increase in compressive strength and a 42% increase in flexural strength after 91 days.
✅ This innovative approach, which utilizes waste from fecal sludge treatment plants, could offer a sustainable solution by addressing both waste management and construction material production.
