Recycling Project: Repurpose Construction Site Waste

Recycling Project: Repurpose Construction Site Waste.

I haven’t posted for a while due to research for a number of environmental and recycling projects. The projects involve researching design options to see how we can repurpose/recycle Construction Waste materials like timber, insulation, paper etc.

This post is just to let everyone know that I am still here and working away in the background and also as an introduction to my new project. Aviation projects of course are still work in progress.

Anyway getting back on subject: The Recycling or Upcycling project is based on maximising usage of material that would otherwise not be considered for alternative purpoes. As the typical timber waste from sites vary considerably it is critical for the new designs to be able to utilise the smallest offcuts that would not otherwise be a consideration.

I can’t go into too much detail right now but the essential elements will comprise unique lattice structural forms as well as composite design features to maximise strength and practicality. Historically, recycling construction waste is actually fairly common however it is mostly restricted to creating furniture and small garden utilities. The principal idea of repurposing for garden buildings or offices is not so common due to the technical challenges of effective use of small sized materials…until now.

I plan to crowdfund the construction of a number of these designs shortly. If anyone is interested in supporting these projects please drop me a line.

The Work in Progress aviation projects include datasets for the L23 and L33 gliders…watch this space.
