Kids love to build forts and houses out of cardboard boxes… and we pat them on the head, and say “That’s so cute!” New building material ECOR<\/a> takes this notion beyond child’s play: this corrugated fiberboard is made from those boxes, newspapers, office paper, and even agricultural waste<\/a>. From reading Derek’s post at\u00a0Ecopreneruist<\/a> (which you’ll find below), it’s clear that Noble Environmental has figured out how to take almost any kind of waste fiber and plug it into this strong, sturdy, lightweight material.<\/p>\n

\"ECOR-wavecor\"There\u2019s a new green building material on the market that is light, strong, and flexible, and can be made into just about any shape, including complex molded shapes, without the need for any glues, harmful chemicals, or toxic ingredients. This material, ECOR, is made using only water, heat, fiber, and pressure, and takes a low-value product (waste fiber) and turns it into a high-value green building material.<\/p>\n
