  2. Vivihouse - [15]. Prototype, no product yet.

It would be interesting to engage the other projects in a collaborative process:

  1. Open Source balers for bale panels. How to process the straw to make it long-lasting? Is this a solved issue or an issue that creates limited applicability only to dry areas?
  2. 3D printed Wikihouse panels with 0 waste - engage Alastair on this, see if they are interested in polyethylene, polypropylene, or PVC.
