Production Concepts
Verschiedene Ansätze für die Produktion und Logistik nachhaltiger Baumaterialien.
Individual Production On Site
Process:
- Farm supplies surplus cow manure
- Excavation site provides clay + sand
- Logistics coordinate material transport
- On-site mixing at construction location
Advantages:
- Local production on demand
- Reduced transport emissions
- Flexible quantities
Disadvantages:
- No existing system infrastructure
- Complex logistics coordination
- Multiple transport requirements
Small Production On Farm
Process:
- Farm processes surplus cow manure
- Local materials: premade clay mix OR own excavated clay + sand
- On-farm processing: Mix & dry plaster
- Distribution via retail to construction sites
Advantages:
- Less permits needed
- Reduced logistics complexity
- Farmers can sell value-added products
- Short process = less ammonia emissions
Disadvantages:
- No existing system infrastructure
- If dried, plaster loses some waterproofing properties
Large Scale Production
Process:
- Centralized collection of farm surplus manure
- Industrial processing at dedicated facilities
- Quality control and standardization
- Distribution through existing retail networks
Advantages:
- Works within existing systems
- Big scale solution potential
- Easy for farmers to participate
- Standardized quality
Disadvantages:
- Requires extensive permits
- More complex logistics
- Longer process = more emissions (ammonia + methane)
- Higher infrastructure investment
Stakeholder Integration
Each production model involves different stakeholders:
- Farmers (manure suppliers)
- Logistics companies (transport)
- Processing companies (manufacturing)
- Retailers (distribution)
- Contractors (application)
- Clients (end users)
- Architects (specification)
The choice of production model affects the entire value chain and regulatory requirements.
