Among the numerous problems facing our developed world, waste is one of the most pressing. A lot of waste is generated from a lot of sources. The battle to curb waste production is an ongoing one, with more success, but rather less. But there are a good few who see creative potential in what has been condemned to waste. They are processing it to create new building materials, or looking at it as a building material in its own right and reusing it as a building structure.
