Researchers have added recycled wood waste to cement to create concrete that is both stronger and more watertight.
The innovative technology, from a team at the National University of Singapore, involves adding biochar created from wood waste such as sawdust to concrete and mortar mixtures. According to the team, a small amount of dry biochar increases the concrete’s strength by about 20 percent, and increases impermeability by as much as fifty percent.
Singapore furniture factories create more than half a million tons of wood waste annually.
