CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
This part introduces the related literature and studies after the in-depth search done
by the researchers. This will also present the synthesis of the art, theoretical and
conceptual framework to completely understand the research to be done and finally the

Only a little portion of the rice husk produced is utilized in a meaningful way, the
remaining part is burnt into ashes or dumped as a solid waste with little being used in
animal feed formulation.. The reasons behind the use of rice husk in the construction
industry are its high availability, low bulk density, toughness, abrasive in nature,
resistance to weathering unique composition. The main components in rice husk are
silica, cellulose lignin. According to Omoniyi, rice husk contains high concentration of

Local Literature
In an article entitled, “Husk to Home: Building Houses From Rice in the Philippines”,
https://en.reset.org/blog/husk-home-building-houses-rice-philippines-03202017: A team
of engineers is set to start building houses in the Philippines using materials from an
unexpected source – the country’s abundant supply of rice. Husk to Home have
developed boards made from discarded husks and are to start using them to create long-
lasting, sustainable, and eco-friendly homes. There are plenty of alternative construction
materials out there already, from a whole village made of plastic bottles in Panama, to
blocks made from plastic and rubber waste in Colombia and bricks grown from sand and
bacteria. But this team wanted to come up with a whole new idea, one that would use the
resources already available in the country itself. They spent several years experimenting
with different materials and adhesives, before hitting on rice husks (a waste product
produced from milling rice grains) as a possible option. As the eighth biggest rice
producer in the world, in the Philippines their husks are in no short supply. Now fittingly
named Husk to Home, they came up with a composite that was everything they wanted -
by replacing woodchips with husks the boards are robust, termite-resistant, eco-friendly
and made using easily available natural materials. And the adhesive binding the mixture
together is recycled too, from another product readily found in the Philippines, high
density polyethylene (HDPE) - the plastic used in plastic bags, bottles and other
packaging.

to decrease the use of non-renewable resources such as fossil fuels, natural gas and coal.
Among the other agricultural products corn cob has an additional advantage when
thought in terms of possible application for alternative processed products because it does
not collide with the worldwide food stock and it is generally considered as agricultural
waste. Recent research works like “Corn’s cob as a potential ecological thermal
