The future of construction isn’t all 3D printed homes and robot bricklayers. Like Popeye and his spinach, maybe the secret ingredient we need to build a better concrete is the humble carrot.

Could the carrot be the secret for stronger concrete? 2_gtc9gx

Engineers from Lancaster University have teamed up with dynamic material company Cellucomp to research how adding ‘nanoplatelets’ taken from root vegetables can make concrete mixtures stronger – and help the environment too.

Nanoplatelets are tiny structures comprised of a layer of stiff fibres – in this case made of plant cellulose. They are derived from the aforementioned carrots and sugar beets discarded from supermarkets, or from leftover waste from food-processing factories.
