BIOMASS AND PLASTIC: WASTE TO VALUE
This carbon composite is roughly 0.5 cm thick and is able to withstand direct hammering on a concrete floor. It is 84% carbon, from the inclusion of biochar and recycled polyethylene.
Biomass that would otherwise decay and release CO2 can have its carbon durably sequestered as biochar. Most polyethylene is not recycled and will break down into microplastics in the environment. Here, it is able to form lightweight tiles, bricks, or blocks with biochar.
