A system and method for creating a rigid foam substitute is provided. By using natural binding materials and natural fiber materials, the system and method may be used to create environmentally friendly substitutes for expanded polystyrene. The system generally comprises a processing room and molding facility. The processing room may comprise an opener, cleaner, and blower, which may be used to break up and clean the natural fiber material. The molding facility may comprise a mixer, molder, and kiln, which may be used to create casts. The method generally entails processing a natural fiber material before mixing it with a natural binding material and fluid to create a fluidic mixture, wherein said fluidic mixture is subsequently molded and cured to create a finished product. 1. A system for making a rigid foam substitute comprising: 'wherein opening said blocks of natural fiber material decompresses said natural fiber material,', 'an opener configured to open blocks of a natural fiber material,'} 'wherein trash is removed from said natural fiber material while said natural fiber material is broken into pieces of natural fiber material,', 'a cleaner configured to break the natural fiber material into pieces of natural fiber material,'} wherein said fluidic mixture comprises said pieces of natural fiber material, liquid, and a natural binding material,', 'wherein said mixer receives said pieces of natural fiber material from said cleaner,', 'wherein said mixer maintains a desired temperature range while said pieces of natural fiber material, liquid, and natural binding material are mixed,, 'a mixer configured to create a fluidic mixture,'} wherein said mixer receives said fluidic mixture from said cleaner,', 'wherein said cast has a desired shape,', 'wherein said desired shape is based on at least one mold within the molder, and, 'a molder configured to shape said fluidic mixture into a cast,'}a kiln configured to cure said cast.2. The system of claim 1 , further ...
