Akivili would be proud
I wonder if these plastic/sand bricks could be shaped to snap together like Legos? That would really make construction easy.
If it was used as walkways and walls wouldn't it erode micro plastics into the environment?
Great stories, ❤❤❤. If people start doing little bit more in their own area, it would make tremendous difference.
great stuff
Whats the compressive yield strength? Tensile strenght? Moudulous of elasticity? Ultimate yield strength? And how long does it keep theese numbers up? Plastic is famous for becoming extemely brittle over time and in the sun. Seems like a great use for panels sidewalks and such. I would worry about using it for anything strucural.
What about microplastic pollution? Wouldn't the plastic brick release microplastics into the environment as they break down? I think it good to use them, but maybe not for high impact surfaces and in contact with the ground. This could also reduce water filtration and speed up localized flooding, as plastic is non-porous. It might be better to use them in a domestic/interior setting.
Ah yes, just what the world needs. Even MORE microplastics everywhere... oh man...
Can the bricks be up cycled ?
This video is soo good! But if we want it to be seen by the new generation Z (those who could do something in the near future and onwards), imho, it should be shorten. 40 min is an eternity for them.
Lol
