Abstract

 The research aims to develop alternatives of using rice straw in
construction as a tool to preserve the environment in Egypt. where the rice straw is
one of the types of solid agricultural waste, which is produced in Egypt in large
quantities, as a result of the lack of strategy by the State for how to collect rice
straw from farmers to recycling to benefit from them. Farmers burn it, which causes
the formation of a black cloud annually in Egypt and resulting environmental
problems and health damage. Therefore, it was necessary to research how to get rid
of rice straw by making use of it in recycling and using it in different ways in
construction work in order to maximize the economic return from it as well as to
preserve the environment in Egypt. The research paper deals with alternatives to
benefiting from rice straw, and these alternatives can be considered as a
methodology or framework that the government may benefit from in addressing the
environmental problem facing the country annually.
