Revolution In Home Insulation – Baby Poo
by ianrthorpe @ 2008-04-24 - 17:48:54

Our desperation to reduce pollution and cut the amount of carbon pollutants we pump into the atmosphere is leading to the development of some highly creative, even bizarre solutions.
Home insulation materials made with baby poo for example.
Canadian recycling specialist Knowaste is to open the UK’s first disposable nappy recycling facility near Birmingham. The plant will recycle about 30,000 tonnes of shitty, well soaked disposable nappies per year. This represents approximatelt 4% of the total nappy filling capacity of the UK baby population.
The initiative will help Britain meet an E.U. imposed target for reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill sites. While Government scientists have praised the venture, independent environmentalists express reservations.
Removing nappyfill from landfill is a step forward said a spokesman for Greenpoo, but it is not a long term solution. The real answer is to produce less waste and with luck the global food crunch will help towards that.
Undaunted, Knowaste has announce pland to extend its recycling operation to take in adult incontinence products too.
Poo based insulation panels and lagging will be available by the end of the year but their use in the building of new homes has met a distict lack of enthusiasm from the construction industry.
Speaking on behalf of property developers, Mr. S. Melly-Holmes CEO of Construction Redevelopment And Projects Ltd. asked “do these tossers not think the housing market is in enough shit already?”

Well, we've found a creative way 'round that incredible local authority little Hitler-devised bin lid shut law, Jenn'. Me and eggbod are going to saw big squares out of the middle of our wheelie bin lids for our surplus 2X4s & rubbish to poke through - whilst the lid itself remains firmly shut!
Superglue parking meters etc - the citizens' fightback has begun.
