Our passion is carbon-saving design, green building technologies, pre-fabrication and modular construction in sub-Saharan Africa.

A recent Life Cycle Assessment contracted by @ZeroCarbonDesig confirmed negative Greenhouse Gas Emissions for strawboards. The CO2–eq. savings can offset the GHG emissions from other materials in a construction project. #GreenGrowth #GreenRwanda #RGGW @GreenFundRw @GGGI_Rwanda https://t.co/a190Ov6ZbX

Follow the process of #MadeInRwanda zero carbon construction material:

1. Raw straw is bought from farmers
2. The straw is heated to 150°C & compressed (natural resins bind the it together)
3. A fire proof cover is applied & the board is cooled
4. The zero carbon board is ready!
