Innovative students create bricks made from urine

25th Oct 2018

Students are often accused of taking the p**s but we've read recently in the press about a group from the University of Capetown who are using the urine to create bricks. These bricks don’t need to be baked in a kiln so there is a huge energy saving and reduction in carbon emissions.We love any stories about the use of waste to create valuable resources and this could be a real winner.

Closer to home, QCR have supplied cardboard balers to many universities in the UK helping to manage their cardboard waste in a more sustainable way.
