Concrete is a popular and commonly used construction material. One of the major disadvantages of concrete, is its low tensile strength and its need to be reinforced with suitable substances, to prevent formation of cracks.

Sustainability and affordability would be the biggest advantage of bio-concrete and research are still underway, to make it available for complete commercial use.
