In Namibia, a groundbreaking pilot project is using mushroom waste to create sustainable, affordable housing.
MycoHab Mushroom Project uses mushroom waste product to make bricks which at the same time traps the carbon dioxide accumulated in these plants through their lifetime.In a groundbreaking development, mushroom byproducts from farming helped experts design bricks with insulation properties to solve Namibia’s housing crisis.
Some concerns were raised about the potential odor of these blocks, as they are made from entirely natural products.
Nearly 90 percent of households earn less than $144.69 per month, making homeownership unattainable for many. As a result, one in five Namibians live in makeshift homes constructed from waste materials or zinc sheets., the MycoHAB initiative has the potential to have a significant impact on human livelihoods and environmental conservation efforts when implemented extensively.
