Sugarcrete: Brazil’s 180M Tons of Waste Could Build 2M Homes!

🏫 Brazil throws away 180 million tons of sugarcane bagasse annually — enough material to build 2 million affordable homes!

Sugarcrete goes beyond what’s mentioned in the video: it has a compressive strength of 20 MPa (similar to conventional concrete) and offers 37% better thermal insulation than traditional bricks.

In India, a 50m² house built with this material costs just R$8,000 — half the conventional price.

The most impressive part?
Bagasse is usually burned at sugar mills, releasing 150 million tons of CO₂ per year in Brazil.
Turning it into a building material would sequester that carbon for decades! 🌱

While we debate a 6 million home deficit, we’re sitting on literal mountains of waste that could help solve the problem.

Sugarcrete doesn’t require high-temperature kilns like common bricks, saving 80% of the energy during production. It’s circular economy applied where we need it most: dignified housing. 🏠
