Compressed Earth Blocks (CEB) are a sustainable construction option, using high pressure to create bricks from local soil and clay with only a tiny amount of cement. CEB eliminates the energy and pollution produced in the creation of bricks and cement blocks. In many areas CEB homes can replace wooden structures that are adding to the depletion of the world’s forests. Earth blocks are cheaper, greener and far more durable than concrete blocks or mud bricks. The stabilized blocks don’t melt in the rain so rebuilding isn’t necessary.
Key components of this training include mixing ratios, the use of a compressed earth block machine to make bricks, and designing and constructing a naturally well-insulated and efficient earth block building.

Dear Sir,
Where can I attend this compressed earth block making ? How much it will cost ? I am a Chinese from Imdonesia. Now I am starting to make Compressed soil brick micro scale with hamd press, I am very interesed in soil compressed brick technology. Thank you
If I need the machine how can I get it
