- Additional information
- A spin-out company was recently reported to have been launched to produce unfired building bricks from construction waste materials. The product was developed based on concepts similar to the above output. A patent for the product was lodged by Professor G Medero of Heriot-Watt University and the spin-out launch was also featured in the BBC The One Show. Unfired bricks referred to in the output and in Prof Medero’s work offer two advantages: (i) energy saving during manufacture since there is no heating and (ii) CO2 emission reduction since local waste materials are used.
