Is made of paper, water and cement
Hybrid Adobe is a cutting-edge material with many applications including building, landscaping, sculpture, and insulation.
Volunteers and workers in community are building low-cost, energy-efficient homes out of this material you can make on site.
The components include recyclable and reusable materials (including newspapers, junk mail and waste paper), water, plant fibers, clay and a binder, such as Portland cement.
The method is simple.
You create a paper pulp in a mixer (similar to a large kitchen blender), blend in earth and perhaps cement (as a strengthening and bonding agent), plant fibers (including herbs such as medicinal sage or eucalyptus) and even natural color tint.
Hybrid Adobe can also be used to create sculptures, garden walls, and furniture. It cuts easily with a saw once it is dry. Hybrid Adobe is non-toxic, flexible for greater earthquake resistance, and best of all fire-proof. Tensile strength is extremely high due to the multi-directional nature of the paper fibers.
A person working alone could build a small dome in under a month.
Hybrid Adobe panels can also be applied to the interior or exterior of existing structures. This gives the building a new aesthetic and improves structural strength while increasing its insulation value, reducing the energy needlessly wasted on heating and cooling. Another reason the building method is appealing is that the materials are so light-weight and the procedure so simple that elders, children, under-served, and even homeless people can learn to build Hybrid Adobe shelters.
