INTRODUCTION
AnyWay Solid Environmental Solutions Ltd. is a global leader in providing soil stabilization products to the infrastructure and development sectors. Our products are based on a unique technology patented worldwide. One of the many alternatives available for building low cost housing, Compressed Stabilized Earth Block (CSEB) construction is one of the most favorable. AnyWay unique products maximize the use of local soils (even poor quality soils) as the primary building material for the homes. In addition, AnyWay has developed a Rural Community Development Plan (RCDP) which incorporates low cost housing and road building construction projects utilizing our products with the transfer of the technology and training of local populations in the skills associated with these applications. Earth building using AnyWay’s new line of products has much to offer those who place value upon environmental sustainability. It enables us to incorporate the land we live on into our buildings; it saves energy both in the process of creating the building materials and in importing them to the building site; it creates more efficient thermal and acoustic isolation; and adapts itself to the local environment in which we live.
