TITLE:
These Building Blocks Are Made With Sugarcane Waste!

DESCRIPTION:
This is an alternative to concrete made from Sugarcane!

It’s called Sugarcrete and it can make ultra-strong blocks with a 95% lower carbon impact than a concrete block.

They’ve been created by the University of East London and this is how they’re made.

When sugar is produced, a fibrous byproduct called bagasse is left behind.

Even though there’s a lot of great uses for this, it’s often burned as fuel, polluting our air.

But if you mix this bagasse with binder, you can create a really strong building block!

Testing is still being carried out to understand the extent of its strength, but it’s at least strong enough to bear the loads of whole structures, flooring, and walls!

And like concrete, it’s also very resistant to fire, but much more insulative!

Concrete is expensive and terrible for the planet, so having an affordable alternative could make it far easier for people to build and maintain their homes, especially in countries that produce sugarcane too!

Would you like to see more buildings made of Sugarcrete?

TITLE:
The World's First Plastic Free Compostable Soy Sauce Fish

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18wiZdtd9A4

DESCRIPTION:
This is a game changing solution to those tiny plastic fish that come with your takeaway!

Angus and Jeffrey are the Aussie duo behind Holy Carp! the world's first plastic free, home compostable soy sauce fish.

Made from 100% renewable sugarcane pulp, you simply fill it up at the restaurant, and it stays leak-proof for 48 hours.

It then breaks down in your compost in just a few weeks. No microplastics or waste left behind.
And this is a big deal, as it's estimated around 10 billion soy fish have been produced on our planet to date.

While they're technically recyclable, their tiny size means they can't be processed by machines properly,so they end up clogging recycling systems and ironically, polluting the ocean.

South Australia became the first place in the world to ban soy fish in September 2025, and with sustainable replacements like Holy Carp!, more countries are set to follow!

Would you want to see these at your local takeaway spot?

Drop a fish emoji in the comments if you would, and hit like to support more solutions like this!

#Organic #ZeroWaste #supermarkets are rapidly disappearing in #Munich: Yesterday was the last day of pioneering, but now #insolvent #Ohne-Laden. To my knowledge there are only two #packagefree #groceries left in town, plus a handful in the greater Munich region, inside the S-Bahn urban train network: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-munich-zero-waste

Sollte man nicht lieber die Menschen trainieren keinen Müll in die Landschaft zu werfen?
