Could mushrooms be the key to transforming the building industry while also improving the environment In Kenya? A social enterprise called MycoTile is innovating insulation materials made from agricultural waste bonded with mushroom mycelium. Its carbon-negative product delivers stronger insulative properties at a lower price than traditional building materials.

Fascinating to see innovative solutions like MycoTile leading the way in sustainable construction practices. It's inspiring to witness the positive impact that such initiatives can have on the environment and the construction industry as a whole.
Sounds pretty similar to Straw with Clay. old tech with new ingredients, manufacturing and application (spray vs bricks). you would think that after millenia new ways/ingredients would have come out already. maybe new bonding tech??

Circular economy principles in aquaculture
Circular economy principles reduce waste, increase efficiency and support more sustainable systems.
By reducing waste, the value extracted from the natural resources is increased.
In other words, we get more, using less.
This is particularly important as we aim to feed an ever-growing population....and ensure creation of entreprises thus involving communities in emerging countries.
Here, you can see how it is possible to actively contribute to sustainability. The challenge is to extend this approach way beyond a few instances. It also means that customers need to understand the importance of proper recycling. Waste segregation is bothersome and takes time and space, but still, it helps immensely and saves time and energy, as once contaminated, it is much harder to clean and recycle waste. If everyone were to do their part, sustainability could be achieved quicker. Mono-use is convenient for the consumer but not for the environment. Plastic bottles are a clear problem; however, if potable water was treated and managed better (with fewer leakages and some attention to the additives used for sanitation) and people were educated, it would be possible to save an enormous amount of waste.

Can you imagine making tiles, chairs and roofing sheets from used milk boxes?
Well, Eco Thai and others are doing it.
The boxes have three layers which makes very complex to recycle as it requires machines with advanced technologies.
Tetra Pak on of the leading producer of these packaging materials is internalising externalities by recycling some of their boxes up to a tune of 21,000,000,000 in 2021.
In Kenya we also have the boxes though not as much since the milk value chain is characterised with consumption of raw milk.
But Juices are much much with companies such as delmonte leading the pack.We can do it, and there are alot of opportunity available.
The project as is contributes to;
Circularity 💯
3Rs 💯
Sustainability 💯
3Ps 💯
Environment conservation 💯

At UPL, we believe innovations can be a catalyst for change and drive the transition to a sustainable food system. In our 2023 Africa Sustainability Impact Report, we showcase our progress to equip farmers with the latest technologies to boost productivity, uplift livelihoods, and meet global food needs.
We have led digital innovations, such as the launch of CropVision in South Africa, a state-of-the-art crop monitoring system which uses satellite data to help farmers monitor fields, enabling them to maximise yields and strengthen crop health.
We’re proud to work hand-in-hand with farmers, ensuring they are supported to embrace new innovations to improve their farming practices and act as custodians of our planet’s health.
