Mest Blocks
Cow dung blocks. The blocks are extremely light compared to normal concrete blocks. They can be used for building light partition walls with no structural value. The blocks can be ground and reused.
Lightweight, Circular Building Blocks Made from Cow Manure
Our studio has developed an innovative, eco-friendly building material made from cow manure and environmentally friendly binders. These lightweight blocks offer a sustainable alternative for interior partition walls and non-structural applications in construction.
Versatile & Lightweight
Compared to traditional concrete blocks, these dung-based blocks are extremely light, making them ideal for non-load-bearing partition walls. Their open structure provides additional benefits, allowing them to function as an acoustic material by improving sound absorption in interior spaces.
Circular & Sustainable
These blocks are fully recyclable and can be ground down and reused as an additive in the production of new blocks, minimizing waste and promoting a circular lifecycle. Additionally, they have the unique ability to capture and store CO₂, making them a valuable material for reducing the environmental impact of construction.
Interesting opportunities for application
Produced using techniques similar to other biobased building materials, these blocks have undergone lab testing, confirming that their compressive strength matches existing biobased blocks already in use. This ensures that they are practical, durable, and ready for real-world applications in sustainable construction. Tests on acoustic and thermal performance still need to be done.
Opportunities for Collaboration & Investment
We are seeking investors, collaborators, and clients interested in integrating sustainable, biobased materials into the future of construction. Whether you are looking to develop new applications, explore large-scale production, or use these blocks in architectural projects, we invite you to join us in revolutionizing sustainable building materials.
