Transform coconut waste and local soil into low-cost bioclimatic microhomes, enhancing the lives of coconut farming communities sustainably
Long description
The material developed is a blend of local clay soil and coconut fiber sourced from discarded coconut husks used in the production of healthy beverages. When mixed with water, it becomes a viscous mixture. This blend is poured into a formwork and left to dry for 48 hours, forming a single core. The advantages of this material lie in its strength and flexibility. At the end of its lifespan, it naturally returns to the earth, reintegrating seamlessly. Additionally, we propose using coconut fiber as a binder to create panels that cover the house structure. This sustainable approach not only repurposes waste but also contributes to the construction of resilient and environmentally friendly homes for coconut farming communities, enhancing their quality of life while promoting ecological balance.
