resistant to insect infestation such as termites because the feathers are inedible,» as well as suggesting they'd be less flammable and combustible when compared to conventional cement and
wood -
fibre composite boards.Seems like he has plenty of raw material to work with given that the Philippines poultry industry is said to dump 2.4 million tonnes of feathers annually, mostly through burning and burial.
