High-tech, low-cost building system that doesn’t use sand or things made from oil.
Ecocell is made of high-tech composite materials that are also cheap. A traditional building with 100m2 of living space releases about 30 tonnes of CO2e, but the same building built with ECOCELL binds about 15 tonnes of CO2e in the wood components. When bamboo is used instead of wood boards, as in Bamboocell, the amount of CO2 saved drops to 30 tonnes CO2e. The paper honeycomb is made of 100% recycled paper and has a mineral coating that can also be recycled. The fossilized paper honeycombs don’t have any oil-based materials in them, and they can be used to replace polystyrene insulation in SIP’s (Structural insulated panels).
Positive facts about ecocell
The CO2 difference between conventional building and ecocell is 60to CO2e per residential unit with 100m2
No sand required
Requires no oil-based materials
Large-scale manufacturing of ecocell building elements allows cost savings of 30-40% in construction
The fossilized paper honeycomb does not contain any mineral oil-based substances and can be used to replace the petroleum-based polystyrene, used for insulation in house construction
