A bio-architecture for natural buildings that use less energy.
In the EU, buildings that are being built use 40% of the energy, produce 36% of the CO2 emissions, and make 1/3 of the waste. Also, most of the materials used in building are made from petrochemicals and have a linear life cycle. Sick building syndrome says that 40% of all the materials used in construction are dangerous. From an agricultural point of view, rice is the most important food in the world because 66% of the world’s population eats it every day. Every hectare of rice field makes 7 tons of food and 10 tons of waste that needs to be taken away. These waste products are burned all over the world, releasing a lot of CO2. The problem that Rice Husk is trying to solve affects both the building industry and the farming industry. The company turns rice waste into 100% natural building materials that go back to nature when they are no longer useful. In particular, the company sells insulation made from rice husk that is 100% natural. Using a method called bio-architecture, the company makes it possible to build natural, energy-efficient buildings out of rice residues.
