What are green building products? In making building products greener, the goal is to reduce the use and impact materials can have on the environment throughout the building life cycle. Blox Building Systems is proud to offer a Patent pending building Blox like no other. Our Greenstar Blox ™ are an energy efficient and environmentally friendly building material comprised from recycled short-fiber cellulose (newspapers, phone books, and lotto tickets), cementitious materials, water, and a curing agents organic ad-mixture.

"We don't just use any paper. We prefer a special blend of recycled newspapers, lottery tickets, office documents, and phone books for all of our products, during both manufacturing of and construction with our Blox. We have replaced aggregates normally found in concrete with our gradations of cellulose fibers to form a material with high insulating and structural characteristics." - Zach Rabon

The advantages of using Blox Building Systems are numerous. The simplicity of masonry construction is only topped with the use of light weight materials. Our Greenstar Blox ™ come in a CMU  CinderBlox ™ (8" x 8" x 16") and an Adobe style (10" x 14" x 4") which weigh only 8 pounds. Greenstar Blox ™ will double and even triple the R-values of conventional wood frame construction. The customer sees this in their annual energy savings.

The goal of Blox Building Systems is to minimize the impact that materials have on the environment throughout the building life-cycle; including construction, operation, possible renovation, and eventual demolition by using a salvaged waste material, conserving natural resources, and encouraging a more efficient lifestyle.
