Abstract

This project aimed to develop a pioneering, sustainable, and low-cost prefabricated temporary housing system, made primarily of recovered waste cardboard and under-utilised timber materials available in the Northern NSW. If the outcomes of this project are implemented at a commercial scale, it will significantly increase the capacity to use renewable and recycled materials in temporary housing construction, supporting new and expanded regional manufacturing capabilities in biobased modular housing systems. This seed project is funded by the NSW Decarbonisation Innovation Hub, Land and Primary Industries Network, Collaborative Project LPI SF07.
