Papercrete Construction and Low-Cost Sustainable Housing
Alternative building techniques like papercrete allow for the construction of highly insulative housing using waste materials. By mixing recycled paper slurry with a small amount of cement, builders can create 20-foot diameter domes for under $2,000. This method leverages the massive surplus of the modern waste stream to provide affordable shelter that requires minimal heating or cooling.
