Mallorca itself is a well-loved and well traveled tourist destination, however the islands in the Balearic Archipelago of the country are considered to be rather small.<\/p>\n<p><script type='text\/javascript'>\nif (detectWidth() < 768) { \ndocument.write(\"<div style='text-align:center;'><span style='text-align:center; font-size:12px; color:#777;'>Advertisement<\/span><center><!-- TA_MOB_G1_BTF3_300x250 t4\/2+ fb (content) --><div data-aaad='true' data-aa-adunit='\/117607917\/TA_MOB_G1_BTF3_300x250'><\/div><\/center><\/div>\");\n} else { document.write('<div id=\\'wi-194906\\'><\/div>'); jQuery('#wi-194906').closest('.side-widget').hide();\n}\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type='text\/javascript'>\nif (detectWidth() < 768) {document.write('<div id=\\'wi-193994\\'><\/div>'); jQuery('#wi-193994').closest('.side-widget').hide(); \n} else { \ndocument.write(\"<div style='text-align:center;'><span style='text-align:center; font-size:12px; color:#777;'>Advertisement<\/span><center><!--TA_G1_BTF1_728V in content --><div data-aaad='true' data-aa-adunit='\/117607917\/TA_G1_BTF1_728V'><\/div><\/center><\/div>\");\n}\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>However, according to the design initiative that created them, that happens to come from the Balearic Island\u2019s Institute for Business Innovation, LOOP, they explain that these rather small islands can actually create 250,000 tons of stone, ceramic, and concrete waste from demolition and construction.<\/p>\n<p>Considering there are only a few sustainable landfill options in the area, most of the waste that comes from the islands is shipped to the mainland of Spain. These efforts take tons of barges, trucks that wait on shore, then tipper trucks and bulldozer that need to transfer it as well.<\/p>\n<p><script type='text\/javascript'>\nif (detectWidth() < 768) {document.write('<div id=\\'wi-194140\\'><\/div>'); jQuery('#wi-194140').closest('.side-widget').hide(); \n} else { \ndocument.write(\"<div style='text-align:center;'><center><!-- \/117607917\/TA_G_1x1_outstream t4 --><!-- div data-outstream='inarticle'><\/div --><div data-aaad='true' data-aa-adunit='\/117607917\/TA_G_1x1_outstream'><\/div><\/center><\/div>\");\n}\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type='text\/javascript'>\nif (detectWidth() < 768) { \ndocument.write(\"<div style='text-align:center;'><center><!-- \/117607917\/TA_G_1x1_outstream t4\/fb 2+ --><!-- div data-outstream='inarticle'><\/div --><div data-aaad='true' data-aa-adunit='\/117607917\/TA_MOB_G_1x1_outstream'><\/div><\/center><\/div>\");\n} else { document.write('<div id=\\'wi-195018\\'><\/div>'); jQuery('#wi-195018').closest('.side-widget').hide();\n}\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>In their attempts to interrupt and actually stop this wasteful type of supply chain, they\u2019ve created something much more circular, they explain. LOOP did their best to isolate the major waste products, while identifying their possible relationships. There are tons of ceramic products that come out of Mallorca, and not just roof tiles but bricks as well. As the ceramics are ground into powder using crushed stone from the foundations and walls, all the additional natural white cement makes a \u201chygroscopic\u201d mortar.<\/p>\n<p>While they can be used for paving stones, the mortar can also be used for all major construction projects that have to comply with the severe energy standards of the EU. When you say \u201chygroscopic,\u201d just like those little silica gel bead packs you find in food products, the mortar is able to gather and hold the moisture within it. This makes them very ideal when it comes to keeping the humidity out of more sensitive environments.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/loopdisseny.com\/noumorter.html\">LOOP website<\/a> also said that it \u2018also lends itself to drainage, allowing water to naturally seep into the ground, or be captured and retrained in lower layers for subsequent reuse or controlled deposition.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>What are your thoughts?<\/em> <strong>Please comment below and share this news!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/trueactivist.com\">True Activist<\/a> \/ Report a typo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A design company from Mallorca, Spain has created new water-absorbent mortar material that\u2019s made from the masonry waste found on their island archipelago.
