This document presents innovative eco-friendly housing construction methods using recycled materials. It describes using light-weight bricks made from recycled paper, eco-concrete made by mixing bagasse ash with ordinary Portland cement, and paper tubes for inner partition walls. These materials allow for easy, cost-effective construction with less skilled labor and quick construction times. Research has shown that light-weight bricks and eco-concrete are cheaper and provide benefits like thermal insulation and shock absorption. The document concludes that these innovative materials can enable sustainable, affordable housing solutions.
