[GSBN] Future uses of straw

[Noé Solsona]

Hi dear all,

Very recently I was wondering how was evolving the stack blocks developing from Oryzatech ?
Does any one know’s any think about it ?
Under are the only links I have founded :

Because if the hemp blocks are great, straw block are even better as straw is a "waste" product.

Other wise in France we have a few producers of hemp blocks with one really hight quality :
http://www.bloc-biosys.fr <http://www.bloc-biosys.fr/>
http://chanvribloc.com <http://chanvribloc.com/>
https://www.isohemp.com/fr/blocs-de-chanvre-pour-une-maconnerie-naturellement-performante <https://www.isohemp.com/fr/blocs-de-chanvre-pour-une-maconnerie-naturellement-performante>

But so far we are mainly into building site production or prefab wall productions.

Look forward to get any news
Noé.

They are making a hempcrete block, which in itself is not that revolutionary. But, they've developed an inner-Lego system made from hemp resin and fiber to provide both the structure (yes, no framing required!) and an easy dry-fit assembly.
