Plant wastessuch as rice hulls which are in cellulose and silica are products high in cellulose and silica, i.e. rice hulls, are converted into a slurry of water and a silicate cross-linked cellulose polymer by digestion under heat and pressure in the presence of sodium ions and a sulfite. The slurry is treated with conventional foaming agents to form a formed product expanded in volume. The foamed product may be formed into any desired shape or size by extrusion, molding or casting.
