EBUKI's mission is "bringing earth to the heart of the built environment"
... in the United kingdom, Ireland, and beyond.
Earth Building UK and Ireland is a registered charity established in 2009.
It brings together all the earth building interests, commercial, design, academic, training and research.
We believe that the future of construction must be community-led, circular,
and low-carbon... and earth building embodies these principles holistically.
Earth building is one of the most sustainable, low-carbon, and circular
construction solutions available today. Using locally sourced or excavated
earth significantly reduces emissions from extraction, transport, and
industrial processing. The result is a construction approach with near-zero
embodied carbon. When combined with natural fibres-often agricultural by-
products such as straw, hemp, or animal hair, earth becomes stronger,
more durable, and more insulative. These methods and materials not only
enhance performance but also sequester carbon, reduce dependency on
high-impact materials such as sand and cement, and turn waste into
valuable resources.
