Making an industrial use out of Asian carp could lead to the eradication of the fish by using Asian carp fish ash (the burned remains of the fish) as a concrete admixture, our product "Carp-Crete" is lighter then conventionally used concrete. The applications for this could be used on projects such as roads and retaining walls and various other projects where concrete can be used...
"Carp-Crete" is a concrete which uses Asian carp fish ash (the burned remains of the carp) as an admixture. The core principle behind the development of Carp-Crete stems from attempting to find a beneficial use for a waste product in a civil engineering application. Our goal is to show that fish ash can be used to make a concrete mix.
