  • Researchers from the University of Cape Town (UCT) in South Africa have developed the world’s first bio-brick grown from human urine.
  • The bio-brick was made using the “microbial carbonate precipitation” method.
  • This finding is the result of waste recycling and upcycling.
  • The bio-brick process produces nitrogen and potassium as by-products, which are important components of commercial fertilisers.
