ABSTRACT - Markku Vilkki Affordable Houses from Natural Fibre – Plastics Composites (NFC) Extruded natural fibre – plastics composites (NFCs) have gained vast popularity in the house construction industry in last years and are sold in global retail value about 1 BUSD annually. Their performance characteristics and green values have encouraged dozens of manufacturers all over the world to establish new production of various extruded profiles for building exteriors and interiors such as decking, flooring, siding/cladding, wall and ceiling paneling, railing, fencing etc. An entirely new concept is presented to construct affordable family houses in low cost basis by utilization of extruded NFC-profiles in a metal frame based on short sisal fibres mixed with a) Brazilian green plastics made from sugar cane and b) recycled compatible plastics collected from the environment depending of each profile and/or multilayer product structure in question.

chap-4.PDF ECE/FAO Forest Products Annual Market Review, 2000-2001 __________________________________________________________ 1 Chapter 4 Influences on Japanese demand for wood products 1 Highlights • Wood use in Japan stems mostly from residential construction, which rivals the United States market in terms of number of housing starts, and presents tremendous market opportunities for overseas producers of structural wood products. • Post & beam type of construction dominates, but markets for North American-style platform- frame construction are steadily growing. • Several trends related to wood use are driving the demand for structural wood products in Japan, including the growing importance of high-performance, aesthetically pleasing wood products, the adoption of platform-frame building technologies and engineered wood products, and the emergence of a pre-cut component manufacturing sector. • Changes are under way in the markets for non-structural wood products for interior applications as Japanese consumer tastes shift towards the use of lighter coloured softwoods and western styles. • Changing demographics (population stability and an increasing proportion of elderly persons) are having an impact on the use of wood in Japan. • Changes in regulatory requirements regarding housing in Japan, including the Government Housing and Loan Corporation, the Building Standard Law and the Housing Quality Assurance Law, will have a considerable impact on wood products imports and business relations. • The future of wood product imports to Japan will be characterized by further global competition, the potential for increased trade protectionism, the need for high performance wood products and systems, and growth in the repair and remodelling market. 1 By: Dr. (...) Lastly, it is notable that wood is steadily displacing the use of other materials like steel and plastics in interior applications. A major driver is the importance that the Japanese place on the concept of the “healthy house” and indoor air quality. (...) These regulations apply to both traditional post & beam houses and to 2x4 houses, whereas in the past, they only applied to 2x4 houses.
