"PAPERCRETE SEAT" - Tillman Vanhoef

A SEAT FOR EVERY AGE FROM COMPOSTABLE CONCRETE
PULPY, is made from papercrete (50% wastepaper, 50% cement), a lightweight alternative to concrete, water/fire resistant, partly biodegradable and recycable. With four different heights to sit on (20, 30, 45 and 50cm) it can grow with the user, from young to old.

I like how they conveniently leave out the fact that it uses 4x time cement as normal concrete, and that "fireproof" demonstration would also be successful with wood, probably even a cotton pair of pants due to the fact that they're applying the flame to the widest point and constantly moving it. Using waste paper doesn't make this environmentally friendly, and comically, this produces much more CO2 than anything traditional due to the extreme amount of cement

Great idea, nice video, but the piano gets a bit intense.

[@pa1ing956]

What abt weight compared to traditional concrete mix???

[@bridgetplunkett7630]

Probably not waterproof?

[@vidushierajawat716]

Sir? Does it get wet and lose its strength?

[@GermanBadGuy]

More details anywhere?
The surface looks rather rough - would smaller paper pieces result in a smoother finish?

[@ekurdesov]

How does it last so far :) Does it need a rebar?

[@nitaneta4025]

Is it waterproof?

[@prototype9000]

Would keep the water in the paper and use a plastisizer so you dont have to add water to the cement

[@vidushierajawat716]

woah! Genius work. Can we use any clay instead of sand?

[@luciusirving5926]

Or kitty litter for the plasticity.
