#eco-bricks

Australian scientists at Flinders University in Adelaide have discovered a sustainable method of recycling waste materials into bricks, which could be used for construction. The team used a new kind of rubber polymer to convert PVC, plant fibers, or sand into viable construction materials. The findings, published in Chemistry Europe,...

Coronavirus medical waste to Eco-bricks: Sustainable solution Coronavirus medical waste arising from the massive increase in single-use products like Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) and Masks is resulting in large scale pollution around the world. Most of the wastes are turning up in landfills and oceans to make matter worse. Apart from being infected these wastes take a long time to get decompose naturally, causing a massive stockpile of waste causing greater stress to the waste management facilities around the world. A Young environmentalist and entrepreneur from India has taken this serious environmental issue in his own hands and has developed solutions to reduce the environmental impact by his creative idea. Dr. Binish Desai also known as Recycle Man of India has devised a way to convert these medical wastes into Sustainable eco-bricks. Eco-brick details The P Block bricks made by Dr. Binish are made of medical wastes collected from hospitals, collection centers, and landfills and are properly disinfected using disinfection guidelines. Wastes are shredded as per required sizes which then is used with other binding materials to create eco-bricks. The bricks created by Binish contain 52 percent of shredded PPE and masks, three percent of the binder, and 45 percent paper waste. They are water-repellant, fire retardant, and pest resistant. The P Block 2.0 brick is standard 12x8x4 inch size. Read the full article
