What is Bamboocell?
Bamboocell is an innovative modular quick construction system called ECOCELL, crafted primarily from recycled paper. This system is not just any building method—it’s highly load-bearing, thermal insulating, water-resistant, fireproof, earthquake-resistant, lightweight, ecological, sustainable, and cost-saving. Imagine building with prefabricated standard elements made of 1/4 sustainable raw materials and 3/4 recycled paper… It’s a fresh take on construction that’s both smart and green.
Main Benefits of the ECOCELL System
Here’s why ECOCELL stands out:
- Highly load-bearing and structurally reliable
- Excellent thermal insulation properties
- Water-resistant and fireproof for safety and durability
- Earthquake-resistant, adding resilience to buildings
- Lightweight, making transportation and assembly easier
- Ecological and sustainable, reducing environmental impact
- Cost-saving, offering affordable housing solutions
- Built with recycled paper, supporting circular economy principles
Technology Behind ECOCELL
The magic lies in the principle of ECOCELL and its manufacturing process. The system uses recycled paper in a way that creates strong, durable building components. The technology ensures that buildings are not only sturdy but also energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. This approach avoids mineral oil-based substances, steering clear of harmful chemicals and promoting healthier living spaces.
Climate Protection and Sustainability
Bamboocell is deeply committed to climate protection. The system reduces greenhouse gases significantly by avoiding traditional, resource-heavy materials like sand and mineral oil-based products. It supports energy self-sufficient living, meaning buildings can operate with minimal external energy inputs. Plus, it embraces circular economy values by enabling multiple component reuse and minimizing transportation needs. This all adds up to a construction method that’s gentle on the planet.
Product Range and Applications
Bamboocell offers a variety of products tailored to different construction needs. From the quick construction system and US building system to specialized solutions like the partition wall system El-60 and ECO-Solar energy facade, there’s something for every project. The insulation honeycomb and honeycomb composite panels provide excellent thermal performance, while the honeycomb screed adds to the lightweight, efficient building envelope. The BAMBOOCELL product line is versatile and designed for modern, sustainable construction.
