Think recycled plastic is too flimsy for real construction? Think again!
MIT engineers are flipping the script with 3D-printed beams and trusses made from recycled materials. These innovations create lighter, modular framing that not only cuts down on wood demand but also keeps waste in circulation.
This breakthrough could change the game for how we build and significantly lower carbon emissions in the process.

So, I saw a piece about the #Taos #Earthship community late last night on #VeryLocal (unfortunately, I can't find any video link as yet). However, I did find a piece from 2024 about them...
"This summer’s extreme heat and the demand for air conditioning are putting a big strain on the electricity grid in many parts of the nation. But for more than 40 years, a pioneering architect in New Mexico has been building a unique kind of home that can be heated and cooled without using any electricity at all. Special Correspondent Megan Thompson reports."

The buildings constructed from #cannabis
Francesca Perry, 18 June 2023
Excerpt: "In search of #sustainable materials, architects are turning to an unusual source: #hemp.
"Surrounded by verdant fields, Flat House, which sits on a farm in Cambridgeshire, the UK, looks like a typical barn conversion. But inside, the look and feel of the building immediately make you realise this is something quite different. 'The walls remind me of hay bale dens we used to make as kids,' says Flat House's owner Gemma Barron. 'It has the most lovely acoustic quality. And last year we had the heating off for 24 hours in mid-winter and it stayed warm.'
"What makes this bright, airy and comfortable home unusual is the material used to build it: hemp. While we may be more familiar with the cannabis plant's association with the psychoactive substance cannabis, and its use in health supplements and textiles, hemp is rapidly becoming a sought-after sustainable construction material.
"The fast-growing plant is a renewable resource, with carbon-capturing properties. When used in building, it typically takes the form of 'hempcrete' (also known as lime hemp concrete), a sturdy material made by mixing #HempHurd – the woody core of the plant – with a binder made from water and lime. Hempcrete has a high thermal mass, making it an ideal insulation material which improves the energy efficiency of buildings and reduces greenhouse gas emissions over time. It also continues to absorb carbon over its lifespan.
"Sustainable materials are in high demand as the construction industry seeks to decarbonise. Buildings and construction are responsible for approximately 37% of energy and process-related global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. This is due to the industry's heavy reliance on fossil fuels, including carbon-intensive materials such as concrete, steel and glass, as well as the greenhouse gases emitted in heating and cooling our buildings."

🏙️ What makes a city truly smart? 🏗️
It’s easy to think it’s about shiny new tech or futuristic buildings.
But the truth is… smart cities are not built on construction alone and not on operations or management alone. They come alive when these two forces work together.

Building a #Sustainable home in the #Australian #Outback
May 25, 2025
"In 2024 Anika Molesworth and her partner set out to build a family home in a remote part of New South Wales. They were looking to create, in Anika’s words, 'something comfortable, a beautiful space that complemented the land, and a house that doesn’t cost the planet.' That was the mission. But after speaking with various builders, both local and from afar, and getting ideas on new house builds (mainly kit-home/modular type things) they all just felt wrong. The ideas they were presenting and the materials they would be using, went against the whole idea of sustainability.
"Faced with these new-build issues, Anika’s attention turned to an abandoned homestead on her family’s property. 'It was very humble. Like seriously humble. Tiny windows, small dark rooms, not an ounce of insulation. Never connected to any services. It was going to be a big task making it comfortable.' But Anika could see the potential.
"A few local builders were invited over to have a look and give their ideas. The first one said 'better to build a new home using refrigerator panels.' Which he happened to sell, dismissing the renovation concept as a waste of time and money. Time and again Anika bumped up with people who just could not see the vision and had no idea what she was talking about with ‘recycling, reclaiming and using natural materials’. Local suppliers – from electricians to plumbing – just tried to sell her the same cheap, imported products. When Anika spoke to a local plumbing supplier about composting toilets she was simply met with eye rolling."
