The Ecobond Market Niche
Ecobond fills the gap between soil as a building material and the more expensive conventional building materials.
Ecobond is a low cost construction material that can be used as a tool to improve living conditions.
Governments and companies, in the fields of housing and infrastructure, can supply completed roads, houses, clinics and schools to the public at low cost.
The low cost makes this possible on a larger scale than was possible before. Clean drinking water and fresh food can also be delivered as roads and water canals, ponds can be built at low cost.
Ecobond benefits the environment through reducing dust from roads, mine dumps or dusty sites. Toxins and pollutants from refuse dumps can be contained, Ecobond dykes, dams and riverbanks reduce flood damage and Ecobond can be used to prevent erosion and creeping sand. Ecobond is inert and ecologically friendly once reacted and benefits the environment in many ways.
Ecobond can create many jobs, create infrastructure and reduce transport costs with roads in better condition (less damage to vehicles.)
