Cupcrete Papercups to Concrete

The design addresses challenges in paper cup recycling by introducing a novel method to create a new eco-green material called Cupcrete, developed by two sisters. It is formulated by blending cement with shredded paper cups, which are then mixed with water to form a fluid mixture. This mixture is poured into molds and left to dry, transforming into bricks, tiles, panels, furniture, and home accessories. The design offers lightweight construction and boasts acoustic and thermal insulation properties, along with reduced cost and superior environmental advantages.
