Researchers at Brunel University in London have launched a new project to develop 3D-printed bricks made from waste construction materials.

Brunel University said it hoped the DigiMat project would reduce construction’s reliance on cement. Production of cement can give rise to 0.85 tonnes of CO2 for every tonne of cement.
