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.

The children get to help build. That's terrific.

I would give this a million upticks, bravo to all involved.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.

In the long run, solving the problem is NOT making less of it. It’s making more but designing them better.

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.

Gratitude to everyone who participates in this important work to reuse plastic.

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.

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

Beautiful so happy to see such inovation..At least such company make clean environment. Healthy wealthy people come from clean surrounding.

Perfect idea, wow.

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.😊

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 !!!!!

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

This company needs to go global

That's great! I love to see waste used for making good products, especially the ones that help the planet.

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.

Imagine how beautiful the world can be if all countries start this initiative instead of increasing defense budgets.

it is great to see the kids happy and look well fed. a great change in the world.

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?

Great reuse of plastic.

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.

Wow that looks amazing.

Shred the plastic bottles and use the fibers in concrete as reinforcement.

Nice recycling plastic is good for environment 😮

wonderful 🙌

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 a wonderful world, good job good luck then good life but quality and safety always first for all👍🎉🥳😍😘

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.

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?

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

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.

So the first three words in the title are, "How to make," but the critical part of the process is obstructed. Cute.

Hope there will be consistent improvements for safety considerations with this process. Appears to be a great start.

Better than aerated concrete used in the UK for the past 50years.

Great idea

See how happy the children are!

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!!!

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.

This is something needed everywhere. Super cool. Why do we keep producing so much plastic ?

This is a good initiative and worth trying

Super 👌💪🕉️🚩🇮🇳from Bharat 💪🙏

This is the future if we want to have a clean environment or at least suitable

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

Do it, IND.✌👍. TOP quality only, not "Cheaaap" quality as others do. Affordable (inexpensive), if possible.

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

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.

How do recycled plastic bricks perform during a building fire ?

Very very impressive 👍

Lover that bow on the structural beam 😅

Thanks for environmental causes the company did,

no ads on this sweet

This could help solve the homeless problem in the US.

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 .

UN US CANADA CHINA like big countries should help poor countries to get this technology

For an excellent idea you have come up with to help Stop a vicious cycle

Best thing ever

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.

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!!!

This is a very smart ideal,to bad you don,t show the Canadian government

We need one in Haiti 🇭🇹 please

I wish come to Greenville NC

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.

Thank you Sir...good job..😁👍💪💪💪💪

Most Excellent! ♥

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.

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

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.....

sir, i am interested in this project too in small scale for the school, eco walls for making makeshift. please share , thank you

❤

Worked in a plastic bottle production plant and saw first hand the recycling process. Produced bottles, plastic pellets, and plastic lumber.

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

That is amazing!

I will trade my unborn progeny to make the sacrifice to help.

This is awesome, need one factory per town all around our world

Where can I get it?

Looks like they could make desks and chairs out of the plastic waste as well.

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?

Ems sum cute babies!!!

Amazing!

Wow! This is so freaking cool!

I like that. People all over the world should be doing that.

Nice

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

Pls how do I get the heating system and the extruder?

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.

Very impressive project

*Title:* How to make bricks from plastic *4 minutes into the video:* "The company keeps those recipes a secret hidden behind the curtain"

America has a lot of garbage mountains and many place there no or little recycling.

Am from Ethiopia, Shashamannee

Great transformation.

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 .

when I see these children playing in the dumps I feel bad for our kids sitting on a sofa hypnotized by an I phone - is something wrong with me?

They need to help the mess in Guatamala.

Who can I contact to do the same thing in Europe?

She didn't like what she does, she is satisfied, to have found something that she can make, and brings food to his children's table.

You can see the passed out brand new uniforms to some workers the same day it was filmed to make it look better. Something is going on behind curtains they don’t want people to see

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.
