Stanford University's Lepech Research Group has developed a sustainable, recyclable, carbon-negative construction material that binds soil with lignin, a natural biopolymer, instead of Portland cement.
Stanford University's Lepech Research Group has developed an Engineered Biopolymer Composite (EBC): a recyclable, carbon-negative alternative to lightweight concrete and non-structural masonry, made by binding soil aggregate with lignin (a hydrophobic biopolymer) and a plant-b
