Lowtech Graph lists low-tech options for every need of a home. Here you can compare them, find tutorials to build them, and link them together into a circular system. Why low-tech?
Passive
Note: Cost, carbon and footprint are broad judgements against comparable building approaches, not measured figures.
A dry place to store sorted recycling until it is collected: cans, glass, paper and plastics. Keeping them clean and separate makes collection easy and keeps the kitchen tidy.
Nothing separate is built here: this is a choice about how the home is designed or used.
The only option catalogued for this need so far, so there is nothing to compare it against.
No sources recorded yet.
We don’t list sizing or quantities, as the yield of each technique depends on the quality of its build. The catalogue compares options but doesn’t dimension them. Regulatory notes are indicative, with a French example, and need to be confirmed locally.
