Charboard and 55 uses of biochar in paper products

The Biochar Journal is now online. In this ad free, open source journal you will be able to read articles from the cutting edge in biochar research. Personally I find the article about charboard, an excellent example of concrete use of biochar in everyday life. The idea of charboard is to replace the traditional filler component of cardboard with biochar. This gives new and beneficial properties to packaging materials. At the end of the article is a list of 55 potential uses for charboard. Imagine wall paper that would absorb odors and that could be composted afterwards, mitigating CO2 in the process.

The journal is asking for my and your help to support upcoming issues of the journal.

I thought about this the other day...

Seems like somebody got to it before me.
