I also met a man today who is from the Panhandle of Texas today at the
Green Conference gere in Austin. He is going into production with a
product called Stramit which compresses straw into building panels.
They will cost abot $18.00 a panel and are 2.25" thick by 4' wide up to
12' in length. Raw material is straw paper and glue. About $.55 square foot.
2425.51 lbs loading. Fire resistant. Sound absorbant. Can be used for
roofing, celings, walls, flooring, furniture abd environmentally correct. It
was really cool. Used worldwide.
