    Recycling plastics into building blocks and pavers

     Hi!

     

    I've seen a show on TV featuring building blocks and pavers made from discarded plastic and garbage in general. Is there any portable machinery that can do the job? The project sure looks promising in small community-based recycling facilities. Thanks.

    This sounds interesting. I cant find any information on this, but could you remember the company or on what channel this showed. This is a great idea in the general build book in Africa or eastern asia. It is great to assist in reduction of rubble and plastic in poorer countries to developed a sustainable development.

     It was on a local news and they were showing something about China (?). It was an industrial-sized plastic recycling plant. Produced impressive building materials. A guy heaved one of the blocks and let it fall from shoulder height. It didn't break. :)

    I remember seeing a playground that was all made up of recycled materials, it was pretty neat to be honest :). Don't know how they did what your typing up there though.
