The material has 50% more tensile strength than steel with a strength-to-weight ratio that’s ten-times better.

Cool. High tensile strength and fire resistant.
I’m all for new building materials, but with lots of processing comes lots of polluting. I wonder what the environmental impact of this is vs steel.
That is a good point and I have seen youtube videos on this before and would like to know as well.
It’s just because of all the plastic in it.
That is a concern.
Or when cut the dust causes cancer and pollutes the ground.
