"The company mixes volcanic ash, stones, plastic waste and cement to make its bricks"
"[plastic] entombed in eco-friendly bricks."
Jesus christ will this hideous meme product and smug articles about it never die??? This isn't eco friendly - it's complex waste! Plastic by itself is recyclable but plastic mixed up with shit is so much harder! Plastic leaches toxins. It disintergrates into microplastics in the sun! Why on earth would you put it in a matrix that gets exposed to the sun all the time?
This is the construction equivalent of ammonia and chlorine. Fucking hell the third world is gonna be the end of itself.
They're not even using waste plastic they're using donated plastic from households, a clean, sorted waste stream. That the dream of any recycling company! You should be doing pyrolysis with this crap and turning it back into oil, not making long term pollutants!!
The Africans are doing this too. You truly can take anything and label it eco-friendly these days. :(
