It can also resist rot, fungi, and insects which is of course important for concrete aside from the bending strength. It is also edible, although that is probably not the most delicious or nutritious thing to consume. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/07\/concrete-made-from-food-waste-can-be-edible\/5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-498369\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/07\/08\/concrete-made-from-food-waste-can-be-edible\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Concrete made from food waste can be edible\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/07\/concrete-made-from-food-waste-can-be-edible\/5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/07\/concrete-made-from-food-waste-can-be-edible\/5.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-498369\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/07\/08\/concrete-made-from-food-waste-can-be-edible\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Concrete made from food waste can be edible\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/07\/concrete-made-from-food-waste-can-be-edible\/5.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"1017606968\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width><\/p>\n<div overflow><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"4e80fab5e38d9b51ddbba04a-text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"4e80fab5e38d9b51ddbba04a-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>With concrete being the highest-consumed product (aside from water) but also accounting for billions of tons of carbon dioxide release and food loss and waste accounting for a third of all food for human consumption, it would be a big help if this eventually becomes a fully-developed product.
