The project called WUD would reduce waste and enhance construction materials.
It turns out there’s a lot of scrap wood produced by the US Army. According to the US Army Corps of Engineers, more than 80 percent of solid waste produced at the Department of Defense forward operating bases consists of scrap wood, cardboard, and paper. This equates to almost 13 pounds of waste per soldier per day that could be reused if handled properly, reducing garbage and supplying useful materials for construction.
So far, these materials have only been created in small amounts with virgin lumber, but early results indicate that wood chips and scrap lumber may be used as the source for creating densified wood-like products. Better yet, DARPA has identified biological processes that may replace the harsh chemical processes needed to transform the source material.
