It makes sense for them to work with the most abundant natural resource they have.



quote:

Indian researchers at Manipal University Jaipur have created lab mixes of concrete using biochar from processed fecal sludge (from a Warangal treatment plant). Replacing 5-10% of cement with it boosted strength by up to 21% compressive and 42% flexural after 91 days. Some call it poopcrete. Still experimental, not commercial production yet.



Researchers in India say poop-based biochar made concrete over 40% stronger






I wonder if Diarrhea is studying civil engineering at UT so he can go back to his homeland to build great poopcrete structures

In 2014 only 47% of India had indoor plumbing. Today that number is 87%, and now they are figuring out ways to utilize all that poo going to central wastewater treatment plants. A true culture of modern times

The fourth piggy lived a house made from shite. No wonder he was ostracized.

Well, in India, it's a never ending resource, so there's that...

If life keeps handing you shite, go build a shitty with it.

Too bad most of it goes unprocessed since it’s in a pile in the street.

Can’t find it but there’s a Jeff Dunham routine covering this where Walter starts talking about all the different names for a house made out of poop brings such as “shite shack.”

A very well articulated, interesting, and novel thread.

Thanks stout!

No, but in India, you can just go scrape it off the streets...

I was thinking about getting some dung beetles for my cow pastures to help with the flies.

Glad I saw this first, they would have been burying all that valuable material, I can build a new barn now instead.
