3D printing architecture’s true mission is to save resource and protect environment

With the acceleration of industrialization and urbanization, the construction industry also developed rapidly. The accompanying construction waste is increasing, and the amount of construction waste in China is more than 1/3 of the total urban garbage.

As of 2011, China's urban solid household garbage inventory has reached 7 billion tons, which can be estimated to be 2.1 billion to 2.8 billion tons of construction waste, generating more than 300 million tons of construction waste each year. In the case of a simple stacking process, the country will add an additional construction area of about 30 billion square meters by 2020 with a standard of 500-600 tons per thousand square meters. This means that every year new construction waste will take up 150 million to 200 million square meters of land. What a surprise number!

China is in a period of rapid economic development and inevitably produces hundreds of millions of tons of construction waste every year. If it is not handled and utilized in time, it will have a negative impact on society, environment and resources. The random piling of construction waste not only creates safety hazards, but also causes serious pollution to water resources. This affects not only air quality but also land and soil quality.

Another core of the "inks" of the 3D printed building is the reuse of construction waste, including industrial waste and tailings. Yingchuang plans to establish 100 dreamworks within a 300km interval across the country. Construction waste, industrial waste and tailings are processed and separated by technology, making it a raw material for 3D printing of "inks". Let construction waste go back to the building, so that new buildings no longer generate construction waste.
