FRC - Fiber Reinforced Composite


This is a product of the new generation material engineering. It is made from rice husk and plastic.
With the abundance of rice husk and waste plastic, there is no need to make use of timber to build your next house.

the characterastic of the material are listed in the wikipedia.org

Finding Alternatives to Wood

Found this article in wikinews
"Technologies Allow timber to be recycled up to 20 times"

Conventional log once cut, chop, sawn will become saw dust, timber scrap, and timber etc. The finished product can never be recycled easily, imagine millions of tons of furniture, wood products are burnt in the incinerator or buried each year. More trees has to be cut and sawn to produce workable timber.

However with the emergence of plastic wood composite (commonly known as PWC), and MBF or chip board technologies, saw dust and timber scrap can be glued or extrude and become new timber like material. This allow timber to be recycled at most up to 2 times.

Recent technology breakthrough from Malaysia, bring the recycling limit up to 20 times. The technology known as Fiber Reinforced Composite (commonly known as FRC) , allows saw dust or rice hull and plastic to be molded and extruded.
Rice hull, and Rice Husk are waste material that are burnt or buried every year by the million ton. There is no economic reuse value for them. While waste plastic bottles can be recycled. Rice hull, rice husk and plastic bottles become the ingredient for these new material FRC.

The technology use waste material to create FRC that are stronger than most types of wood, and yet it is resistant to water, and resistant to pest especially termite. The vision of the inventor is to provide an alternative timber material, so as to reduce the chopping down of trees.

Although this technology is very promising, and cheap to produce. The material does not have the texture appearance of wood.

As the price of timber rises, more technologies will surface to ensure that timber can be recycled and utilized.

We want to Save our Forest

Saving the Forest, it should be a all out approach whereby all spectrum of the demand and supply should be catered for.

Creating the Supply - Growing of trees.

Curbing the Demand - Use of Alternative material solution to the human problem.

Only then can we have a all round solution to the Saving the Forest Agenda.

We plant a tree in Africa which usually take 10 years, to even 300 years to become a full grown tree...

But if we dont curb the demand, 1 hr is required to chop down a 10 years effort...

Therefore, I preach the world to grow more trees and use less timber.

Activities that will curb the demand of timber.

================================

1. Use wood from substainable forest. < There is no way that pple will forget abt timber. >

2. Use wood alternative if possible. < My team has developed a new wood alternative that consists of RICE husk + waste plastic >

http://www.squidoo.com/10000usdhouse

3. Use fast renewable resource to replace wood. < Bamboo and coconut, kenaf and rubber and oil palm trees and paulownia trees are fast renewable resource >

Every year there are millions of acre of land to be burnt for agriculture....

We humans did not see that exhausted agriculture plants e.g. rice hull, fruit trees, maize hull... etc.

as resources... But we see that as great fiber being burnt...

4. Extensive research into fiber composite. How to make use of fiber from nature, whether it is waste material etc,

how we can recycle them... for example RICE husk, RICE hull... We have successfully convert it into timber alternative.

Conclusion: To save the forest, It is not only about reduction of usage, it is about finding substainable alternative.

Human demand for resource is always increasing becos of human population growth.

My sincere comments.

thanks

Why Should We Recycle... It is not Money making...

sgBlogs.com
SGBlog.com

Why should I recycle? I keep asking myself... Is it Becos Singapore Government ask me to? and I have to follow their policy? Or becos I like to be branded like the Little Goodie Goodie Green Environment Guy?

I tell you... No to all. Becos I see this scene.

Since there is recycled timber alternative available? Will you use timber alternative?

I am creating a campaign... to gather the world awareness on the existence of timber alternatives. FRC is one of them. and we should try to use Timber Alternatives and reduce the cutting of trees, and excessive cutting of trees.

Will you participate?

Awesome! I will be using this stuff and tons of glue to build my house (no metal) because of the sunflare 2012 possibility also because i want to save trees and lower my footprint also.

Amazon deforestation

Brazilian artist's open letter on the Amazon deforestation
We just celebrated the smallest Amazon Rainforest deforestation rate of the past three years: 17 thousand square kilometers. This corresponds almost to the half size of the Netherlands. We have already been able to destroy 16% of the total rainforest area, which corresponds to twice the size of Germany and three areas corresponding to the state of Sao Paulo.

We do not have a reason to celebrate it at all. Amazon is not planet's lung, but renders services to Brazil and to the world. This green vastness extending over five million square kilometers is a thermal layer generated by nature to prevent the sunrays from reaching the ground, and thus enabling the existence of the most luxuriant forest on earth, which helps to regulate the planet's temperature.

It has been tilted in its exuberance, raped by unscrupulous lumberjacks, who set its emerald coverage on fire, giving way to foreigners that humiliate the forest by planting pasture or soybean over its centenary chestnut-tree ashes. In spite of the extraordinary effort for conservation unit implementation as an alternative for the sustainable development, the deforestation continues.

Even after Chico Mendes' blood having sealed the men/nature pact, as well as the rubber latex extractor and Indian, even after the forest people alliance "for the right to maintain our forests untouched, as we need them for survival", even after several sagas full of heroism, death and passion, the Amazon deforestation continues.

As in the past, we consider the Rainforest as being an obstacle to progress, an area that has to be subdued and conquered. An enormous land stock that might be turned into low production pastures, soybean plantations and vegetable species to be used as alternative fuel or even inexhaustible wood, fish, gold, mineral and energy sources.

We are people with no responsibility at all. The deforestation and burning are symbols of our incompetence to understand the susceptibility and instability of the Amazon ecosystem and how to deal with it.

A country that possesses 165.000 square kilometers of abandoned or semi-abandoned deforested areas might double its grain production without having to fell one single tree. Without the forest the soil will be of no avail. It is urgent that we become responsible for managing our natural resources' leftover.

Thus, from our point of view, the only reasonable proceeding to diminish the almost irreversible deforestation effects, is given under § 4 of Article 225, of our Federal Constitution:
"The Brazilian Amazon Rainforest (...) is a national inheritance, and its use will be performed within law requirements, which assure the environment preservation, even with regard to the use of its natural resources".

Having its enforcement to be implemented on municipal, state and federal levels, thus assuring THE IMMEDIATE INTERRUPTION OF THE BRAZILIAN AMAZON RAINFOREST DEFORESTATION. NOW!

Time has come to visualize our trees as monuments of our culture and history.

WE ARE FOREST PEOPLE!
