Com um excesso de serradura provenientes dos nossos processos de produção, procurámos encontrar uma maneira de criar uma forma sólida. Considerámos um cimento natural feito de cal hidráulica, areia e serradura. Experimentámos várias misturas com diferentes proporções. A mistura mais bem sucedida foi 50% cal hidráulica, 25% areia, 25% serradura; nosso objetivo, no entanto, é utilizar mais serradura e menos cal e areia em experiências futuras.

With an excess of sawdust waste from our production processes we sought to find a way to put it to use with the goal of creating a solid form. We considered a natural cement made from hydraulic lime, sand and sawdust. We tried multiple mixtures with varying ratios. Our most successful mixture was 50% lime, 25% sand, 25% sawdust; the goal however is to use more sawdust and less lime and sand in future experiments.
