- Опубліковано 22 вер 2024
- A company shreds, melts, and molds a secret mixture of hard-to-recycle plastics to make solid bricks and beams. The building materials are cheaper and faster to assemble than most traditional ones. The system has helped increase waste collectors' income and address a shortage of school buildings in Ivory Coast.

I build and ran recycling plants like these for years in Canada. What these people aren't telling you is the amount of toxins and pollution that plants like these produce. First, I don't see a single piece of protective equipment in that factory. Pelletized and extruded plastics let off A LOT of toxic chemicals that the workers are breathing in, and that are being released into the local environment. Second, the pelletized plastic gets everywhere. We found that, even though we tried to manage it, the pellets would end up miles away as micro plastics in the water and food supply. Thirdly, it takes A LOT of water to wash these plastics before extruding it. I'll wager they're not taking any steps to recover and clean this water so wherever they're dumping it, you're ending up with bits of plastic, food waste from containers etc. This causes huge algae blooms, which is something we witnessed from our own factories, which pollute the water and kill fish stocks. Don't be fooled. This is not clean and green. It's money.
Another thought came to my mind about building with plastic blocks is that they're flammable and burn pretty quickly. Fire departments have discovered something similar with engineered wood products. Those wooden I-beams that have been taking the place of solid wood floor joists burn through twice as quickly. Resulting more rapid floor collapses once a fire starts.
What do you do now ser
@@jayski9410interesting. It's being used a lot so I thought it's all safe and better
So what would you recommend for factories like these?
@@aberba One thing I didn't mention was food waste in the plastic severely increases risk of infection on cuts and scrapes. I spent nearly $500/month on medical supplies and protective clothing for my staff. That and rebreathers to keep them from inhalation of residual toxins. Second, it needs dedicated water tanks to keep the wash water isolated from lakes and rivers. This water is treated with chlorine to kill bacteria, filtered through screw presses to remover paper pulp from labels and kept in a closed loop. Last, is closed cell netting all around the property to prevent micro plastics escaping. When it gets ground up, it blows like dust so you need to contain it.
Have to say this amazing company should do this all over the world as plastic is a growing concern if every country
Fantastic project, keep up the great work, delivering schools and removing waste from the dumps. FABULOUS.
I would give this a million upticks, bravo to all involved.
Those kids are cute little buggers and they all seem to be quite happy to be there. More recycling please, it does two jobs at once.
The best use of plastic waste. Using plastics as bricks or structural elements avoids the formation of micro and nano plastics by several orders of magnitude.😊
That will enter in food chain. We will realize this mixing mistake in 30 years then hard to segregate. One generation use asbestos. Another use fertilizer, pesticide. Now next getting ready with bright idea mixing plastic in bricks🎉
Better than pave or plastic road
but now its closer to where u live n sleep 😅
No, it will be really bad to live in house made of these bricks, no way
@@Kathakathan11 You can drink water out of recycled plastic bottles. The bricks are harmless. My only concern is that plastic is usually flammable. So is wood but plastic burns with toxic fumes.
Imagine how beautiful the world can be if all countries start this initiative instead of increasing defense budgets.
Why can't the west adopt this idea
Yeah. I wish Ukraine didn't spend a dime on defense and that the world stops arming them. 😂
If you guys only see the surface then this is just bad, imagine how hot it is and you suddenly decided to build a house made out of these, but surprise surprise as time goes by the plastic degrades, and o now not only do you have a waste problem but additional contamination of microplastics in the air that we all breath in... see we can talk about the greater side of it however there is a bigger sacrifice that comes along with the idea
The children get to help build. That's terrific.
This is probably the best use for recycled plastic. Structural use in building will prevent micro plastics spreading as opposed to paving roads which will likely compound micro plastics everywhere
the community should place plastic bin on every student home and teacher or worker there, whic is to collect waste plastic, and the children will bring those to school collector every week or month where will be collected by the company, its a start to make plastic waste usefull
Yes and now it will be closer to where u live, eat n sleep. Any structural element not meant for residential is only ideal for plastic that leeches toxins n pthalates at every degree rise in temps.
@@DeeP_BosEthe plastic is already there. Might as well make the best of it
"the best use for recycled plastic"? You think plastic is recycled? How about fairies at the bottom of the garden? 50% of all the plastic collected in the UK a couple of years ago (680,000 tonnes) was exported and went to either landfill or incineration, mostly i places like Malaysia or Indonesia. Recycling has always been somewhere between a scam and a joke, and the UK government has tacitly admitted as much recently with an announcement that people would be discouraged from collecting too much material for recycling, particularly plastic.
Will still break down into microplastics due to the effects of sunlight in plastic and acid rain but definitely much slower than on roads or other applications that have direct wear and tear.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent idea. Just provide the workers with safety masks and equipment. We wish that company was here in North America, where recycled interlocking plastic bricks for building privacy fencing were available at affordable prices rather than the usual PVC or wood fencing.
The rest of the world should do this. Including, and specially, rich countries. I would certainly like to try this product in my construction projects.
Perhaps the plastics companies could build plants for the locals to sort out their problem and give them better press. Then the people will have to blame themselves for throwing plastic away willy-nilly.
Now export the blocks, building plans🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This product would not pass even rudimentary fire safety standards. I would not recommend using it to build any inhabited structure.
Besides the health risks, this is only solving a tiny tiny part of the issue of plastics. BUT by building schools and having a space to educate children, the future will be better overall. It won't be solved now but many years down the road these educated new individuals will keep improving the process
Gratitude to everyone who participates in this important work to reuse plastic.
Beautiful so happy to see such inovation..At least such company make clean environment. Healthy wealthy people come from clean surrounding.
it is great to see the kids happy and look well fed. a great change in the world.
In the long run, solving the problem is NOT making less of it.
It’s making more but designing them better.
It was excellent idea . Also they can produce chair and desk for the students of those classrooms by the recycled plastic. Although it needs bigger molds and plastic injection machines.
That's great! I love to see waste used for making good products, especially the ones that help the planet.
This company needs to go global
I knew a guy who in Colombia got kids to collect plastic bottles and pack them full of other plastic, making bricks from the bottles. The bricks were stacked and covered in cob to build a small school.
Looks like a win,win,win to me. Locals get jobs, schools (buildings) get built (by locals), and the waste plastic that nobody wants, is removed ! Excellent !!!!!
Perfect idea, wow.
This is bloody brilliant. Schools house's, hospital's the list is endlessness. Smart people.
Great innovation. However, would you be transparent enough to share with the world how you handle you fume emissions that go to the environment and the water bodies? How about the workers' health?
Wow that looks amazing.
Shred the plastic bottles and use the fibers in concrete as reinforcement.
Great idea and it helps the entire country. Not having an education makes for a poor country as the locals don't get the opportunity to thrive. To thrive means more money circulating the population in the country which helps everybody and it cleans up the rubbish lying around, making it into a worthwhile project, building schools to educate.
I saw lots of picnic tables made this way and within weeks, they sagged badly and had to be replaced with conventional wood ones. I would be worried about off-gasses and I'd never trust this material for structural use....and what about fire resistance? Likely has none and could produce dioxins, furans, mercury and polychlorinated biphenyls (better known as BCPs) in the event of a fire.
And when the television was first invented in 1927, it was a 70” OLED w/remote and apps??
Things evolve over time as the process is refined and new technologies come to light. Just look at how far personal drones have come….or even gaming consoles, in such a short relative time. The same with recycled plastics, it’s going to take time to hit the milestones.
It seems to me that our (Australian) companies could learn a lot from this project. We have many warehouses stacked full of soft plastic (mags, etc.) that was supposed to be going to be recycled, but it fell through. I wish the Ivory Coast people well with these ideas and projects. Especially if it improves the education of the little ones.
Unfortunately, plastic is a terrible structural or surface material. It erodes five hundred times easier than stone, becomes brittle when cold and can snap like an icicle, or melt when exposed to direct sunlight.
The manufacturing process is terrible and releases micro toxins everywhere.
It's a horrible industry more detrimental than even producing new plastic thanks to modern refineries.
Either way new or old, plastic is both a blessing and curse onto society.
id like to start a plastic recycle plant making plastic beams and shopping bags im worried about the toxins and germs in the plastic i dont want to cause more problems the earth and people cant afford can someone with experience please help me thank you
How do recycled plastic bricks perform during a building fire ?
How does a plastic bag perform during fire ?
The reason why they are using for school buildings where the chances of fire accidents are very very less since only single phase , LV power supply will be used only for lighting and fans.
@@srimanarayanad1193 So that appears to show that they are not as fire safe as clay bricks. But are OK were there is low risk of fire.
@@srimanarayanad1193And they are only occupying it during the day; not at night when everyone could be asleep with a higher chance of becoming trapped.
Great reuse of plastic.
What a good inventioni they have made to recycle these problem items. I hope they patent there technology and export it to the rest of the world. It would help us all.
I like to see recycled plastic used in sea walls to prevent beach erosion
This is awesome, need one factory per town all around our world
So the first three words in the title are, "How to make," but the critical part of the process is obstructed. Cute.
Well done, at last we are using common sense! Companies who start doing this will become very profitable! So good to address our pollution
problems. I hope the workers can have shares in the business?
Nice recycling plastic is good for environment 😮
Better than aerated concrete used in the UK for the past 50years.
*Title:* How to make bricks from plastic
*4 minutes into the video:* "The company keeps those recipes a secret hidden behind the curtain"
Share it and the whole world can benefit
@@franoismare9512They are "sharing." Nobody is entitled to free patented products. Someone took the risks and invested large to invent these things. Do they not deserve the reward for that risk?
This is a wonderful world, good job good luck then good life but quality and safety always first for all👍🎉🥳😍😘
Two words: Highly Flammable
So is wood, but we can still keep using it to build home
Four words: So Is Your House
Do it, IND.✌👍.
TOP quality only, not "Cheaaap" quality as others do.
Affordable (inexpensive), if possible.
I mean it. People like us are ever ready to buy a bit more expensive stuff for quality products . Toxic, toxins, comprised are a total No, No for us.
You are on the way, the right way.
Really like to see Ms. Fatumata spirit..
Hope there will be consistent improvements for safety considerations with this process. Appears to be a great start.
Seems like a good thing to do I think there many of us could take a page out of their book remember knowledge is wasted if only one person has it
This is good. Bout time I see something like this. Now perfect it and expand it all over the continent and don't allow exploitation
These companies should provide these people PPE personal protective equipment
They only provide "Chap, chap!" to them.
This is the future if we want to have a clean environment or at least suitable
See how happy the children are!
This is something needed everywhere. Super cool. Why do we keep producing so much plastic ?
We need one in Haiti 🇭🇹 please
At one time, I thought they had a PET recycling factory in Haiti?
This is a good initiative and worth trying
Really quite impressive. The machinery details, manufacturing process is kept as confidential. Can we get the details to begin a start up in india or collaboration with this manufacturer.....
Same here, would like to learn about the process
I mean if they figured it out then others should be able to as well. It's lazy just taking someone else's hard work and investment.
@@fauxque5057It’s not lazy, it’s quite smart. Why reinvent the wheel if someone else can show you how to do it? All the R&D has been completed, and if the creator chose to patent their processes, then you could purchase the rights to duplicate their work at minimal startup cost. “Minimal” being relative to how much more it would cost you in your own R&D time and money.
Imagine all the R&D that has been done to make someones dining experience enjoyable-from food choice & food sourcing,dining atmosphere to what type of machine best cooks a certain ingredient in an allotted time. Now you could do all of that on your own with great expenses, or you could purchase a license to become a franchise owner.
It's too bad that the manufacturing process is kept secret. I understand that a company has to make money, but it tells me the operation is more about money than it is about recycling. The whole 🌎 needs to know so that plastic can be recycled globally instead of locally.
I SUGGESTED THIS YEARS BACK AND HAD NO IDEA SOME GENIUS ACTUALLY THOUGHT OF THIS AND HOW BILLIONS OF TONS OF THIS STUFF CAN BE RECYCLED!!!
This seems like a good idea.... as long as you don't think about it at all.
Plastic, particularly random recycled plastic, as a building product has some serious problems. What chemicals does it off gas? Is there any fire retardant in it? Is the smoke when it does burn deadly? Is it structurally sound within the expected temperature range? This whole process could also probably give you cancer just looking at it.
Thanks for environmental causes the company did,
For an excellent idea you have come up with to help Stop a vicious cycle
This could help solve the homeless problem in the US.
I'm actually researching what it would take to do this here in MO. I'm thinking it could solve about 3 problems. Our plastic, homelessness, and it would create jobs.
The problem with this is it doesn't stop the problem, we need to stop making plastic, no matter what it is turned into it will slowly weather and degrade or be damaged releasing microplastics.
Let's stop eating too. Then all the people will die and stop polluting the environment.
no ads on this sweet
If there's material to build schools with all that plastic maybe it should look into building homes for those who are poor in Africa .That's something to think about for those who are homeless . If I was a billionaire I'd help pay for homes to be built for the homeless . Not all billionaires help those who are homeless but I say I you'll leave your money to the family usually the wife and kids but have a heart and help your fellow man and get them off the streets !!! Peace , love and much respect to you all 💯🙏😇💪🙌😎👍 God bless you .
all they need worry about is their proprietary processing being looked after and they could literally use one factory to train and build the next ones ... once they have built all the structure for the new factory and got training on doing it ... they then build their own factory neat their place and source locally from there ... they get their molds and proprietary needs from the designers and their profits from the work ... and they can now train more people and make their building ... as they grow they can even make their own addons and train the new staff they will need as well ... get ahead of the local garbage ... and then get imports and exports of product for profit .. and all of those small factories now have a steady inflow of product to make stuff to sell world wide
Very very impressive 👍
Okay but before everything, is it fire resistant?
No. It would be a hellish fire and one that is fairly easy to light.
It would likely give of very toxic smoke while simultaneously rapidly losing structural integrity.
Is the dwelling you currently live in fire resistant?
The thumbnail says "how to make bricks from plastic" but they didn't show how to make it ☹️. They wanna keep their recipe a secret 😮💨 and not actually want to help people
I realize the title may be a bit misleading, but if you were to watch a video titled how an iPhone is made, would you really expect Apple to provide a detailed program with open-source code for everyone to see?
This is a very smart ideal,to bad you don,t show the Canadian government
Well done.
This company should be in India too especially in most of the villagers and in Manny countries so that it can stop pollution and global worming .
These type plants or factories also created pollution lot of toxic elements which mixed up with water or air , it's not all clean and green , its all about money
If you can re-use plastic instead of making new, its always good. This type of brick seems like a great way to lessen the plastic overflowing in the trash and build cheaper buildings. The only downside is the sun would destroy these bricks within a few years if in direct sunlight, oh and the pollution it creates because they tried glossing over that.
Best thing ever
sir, i am interested in this project too in small scale for the school, eco walls for making makeshift. please share , thank you
UN US CANADA CHINA like big countries should help poor countries to get this technology
Super 👌💪🕉️🚩🇮🇳from Bharat 💪🙏
Hello, I am attaching where to find detailed information about the machine. I wanted to start the work. Is there any advice you can give me?
Lover that bow on the structural beam 😅
Looks like they could make desks and chairs out of the plastic waste as well.
I want to have this in the Philippines
wonderful 🙌
I like that. People all over the world should be doing that.
I have been making bricks for the last 45 yrs, but this new innovation is likely to serve some of the global shelter problems.
Burning bricks is becoming impossible due to high fuel needs here in the tropics.
I therefore call upon a company like this to feel free establishments more payernerships for better results.
How best can we work together.
I wish come to Greenville NC
Who can I contact to do the same thing in Europe?
That is amazing , so good to see they are using the plastic to actually make class rooms..Good Luck to them
Microplastics not a problem then?
Pls how do I get the heating system and the extruder?
CHINA SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF THIS AS THEY NEED TO LEARN HOW TO CONSTRUCT DECENT BUILDING MATERIALS!! ONE THING'S FOR SURE I CAN BET EVERY COUNTRY DEALING WITH PLASTIC TRASH WOULD BE THRILLED TO SHIP IT ALL TO THIS FACILITY!!!
Could they not use plastic for repair roads And it would. Last longer than the stuff they already. Use
And the plastic will break down into microplastics and be impossible to get out of the ecosystem and our food.
the sun dissolves plastic. Plastic Bricks is not the right choice roflol
Wow! This is so freaking cool!
Where can I get it?
The lil didn’t clap get him train him he no follower his mind was processing do as i am told or show truth. He got it. Smiling so hard I wanna work help feel like earning heavenly space here with the cradle of earths atmosphere
It's fire 🔥 prof? Look at Grenfell tower in London UK...that tower had cladding from plastic.. did burn well 😢.. was plastic laminated.. with aluminium..
Thank you Sir...good job..😁👍💪💪💪💪
Can you please tell me a little more, because I suggested this to friends way back when we were talking home our groceries in paper bags, how much do you need to wash polytetrafluoroethylene
I will trade my unborn progeny to make the sacrifice to help.
Does anyone know why the compant is in Spanish ? (conceptos plasticos). Just curious since we are Mexican and like anything related to lingustics.
Its a great idea, roads would be a great idea also. Only problem is less repair and maintenance, too much $ gonna be lost by established business
Worked in a plastic bottle production plant and saw first hand the recycling process. Produced bottles, plastic pellets, and plastic lumber.
PTE and PVC cant be melted because of there toxic fumes.
Cant you just heat it up into a soft malub ale state, compress it in molds and make bricks ?
Wouldn’t even heating it to that malleable state do the same as far as releasing toxins? It’s changing a solid to a fluid; there has to be some off gassing happening…
if you were going to make something like this, instead of making a brick, make an 8' section of wall with an optional door or window in it. but we gotta outlaw the toxic additives or it will not be safe to live in. plasma recycling might be a lot better.
