Cool concept.
I would love to know more. Mainly how energy demanding the process is, Does it start to brittle in the sun shine, how fire resistant it is. Does it shed more or less microplastics than recycling the plastics other ways. Can the bricks be recycled if necessary.
Plastics aren't being recycled, or reused, in other ways, that's the biggest problem after, you know, just making and using too damn much plastic--that's the "reduce" part we tend to ignore.
There has been massive progress in banning single use plastics and using alternative packaging materials.
You are missing the point here. If i had right now resources to build a single facility, would dedicating it to make these bricks be better or worse than making mechanical recycling center for plastics?
