Sugarcrete®, an innovation developed by a team of researchers at the University of East London, combines sugarcane bagasse fibres with sand-mineral binders to produce building blocks that have a carbon footprint six times smaller than traditionally made clay bricks. The block system is designed to interlock, aiming to reduce wall displacement in areas of seismic activity and to minimise the amount of mortar required for wall assembly. The non-cementitious mineral-based mortar used to connect the blocks allows for disassembly of the individual components, offering simple reuse and ‘end of life’ recycling opportunities. Sugarcrete® compressive strength depending upon the mineral binder is tested to between 2.0 MPa (lime binder) – 5.0 MPa (sodium silicate binder) ASTM D-1621 with a low density of 450Kkg/m3 ASTM D-1622. Carbon sequestration is -0.48kgCOe 9LCA A1-A3) – six times lower than clay bricks and 3x lower than concrete blocks by equal volume. The thermal conductivity is measured at 0.07 W/m.k DIN 52612/52616, with Moisture Buffer Value measured at 3.11g/m2RH. Sugarcrete®️ has been tested to industry standards for fire resistance (Lime binder - Class A1 UNE-EN ISO 1182:2021), and durability (BS EN 927-6).
