This work aims to research and promote construction products based on natural raw materials. The study and promotion of traditional materials can represent an answer to the problem of carbon emissions. More and more specialized studies prove the fact that new, modern constructions can alter both our lifestyle, compromising our physical, mental and emotional health. The conclusions of the studies do nothing but reinforce the idea of the fact that returning to traditional materials, their re-assimilation in current constructive techniques and solutions, represents the right solution both for the environment and for us as individuals. Research involves development and experimental research to check the characteristics and performance of products made from natural raw materials (clay, lime, straw, hemp, wood waste in the form of sawdust) and various additions and/or additives in the lowest possible percentages, by studying some recipes different compositions, in order to optimize them from both a mechanical and hydrothermal point of view, depending on the areas of intended use.
