There is provided an adhesive comprising a flowable material having water and a crushable material that is at least one selected from the group consisting of earth, finely crushed rock, clay, talc, gypsum, lime, and kaolin. The adhesive includes a solvent and polystyrene. The adhesive is made by mixing together approximately in equal parts by weight : the flowable material and the crushable material to form a first mixture, and the solvent and the polystyrene until the polystyrene is dissolved within the solvent to form a second mixture. The method includes forming the adhesive by mixing together the first and second mixtures. There is further provided a method of manufacturing a composite product comprising mixing together a waste material with the adhesive to form the composite product thereby. In one example, approximately one part by weight of the adhesive is mixed with approximately four parts by weight of the waste material.
