ORLANDO, Fla. — In today's world, coal is often seen as an antiquated source of fuel that harms the environment, but Florida-based Semplastics believes the substance can have a second life as a material for constructing not just roofs, but entire houses.
Based on the company's latest developments, creating homes made of coal-derived materials might be a reality sooner than later. X-MAT, the Advanced Materials Division of Semplastics, revealed it's taken massive strides in the creation of its revolutionary coal house, including the ability to produce 100 square feet of its coal-based roof tiles.
