Description
Come help us out with our bioconstruction projects in Guadalajara Jalisco. There´s big issues with the waste of the Tequila production in the region, there´s no enough places to receive it and make a final dispotion of this wastes, that´s why we´re trying to aproach this materials in order to make products to be used as a construction material. We are already doing natural lego bricks with Agave fiber and natural binders, prefabricated walls with wood and agave and some other products. The idea is to create a model it could be used in different places of the country where they produce mezcal or tequila in orden to use the waste (fiber) to make bio contruction. There´s some other fibers like coconut fiber it can be used or hemp but since we have 3 Tequileras in the area we´re using the local waste to make all this products.
We also make containership transformation, you can help out with some of this projects if you like working with metal.
There´s some other permaculture projects going on around you can colaborate with.
