    Most of the pepple in these comments don't get it. The plastic would break down into microplastics no matter what, this is at least keeping some of the larger plastics (which again break down into microplastic in the water) out of waterways and gives developing areas building materials. I bet every single commenter uses plastic daily, until you stop using it yourself (and then tossing it or pretending it gets recycled instead of getting shipped off to countries) maybe hold your tongue.

      Plastic turns into microplastic as soon as the plastic has to endure even the smallest mechanical forces. Tires of cars, the wind blowing small particles against your plastic brick made house etc.

      There's no microplastics if you incinerate the plastic, you can burn it for energy too. Not sure why this isn't done. I guess people are terrified of CO2 emissions

      That's a cute soapbox, too bad the actual solution is simply properly processing waste material instead of just letting 3rd worlders play with our scraps, having them wallow in the health consequences. Then again, that kinda propper solution takes people with brains, so I don't know how much you can relate to that 😏

    Changing useless waste into something productive is a great idea. Wherever that waste is, its a problem for people who have to live with it. If it can be changed into something positive, thats a win.
    Sure, we need to look at ways of reducing plastics etc altogether, but for as long as the waste is there and being produced then I think its impressive that its being changed into something of benefit.

    They make 1500 blocks per day.
    400 blocks can sell to up to 150$
    So they roughly make 600$ per day.
    You then have to deduct:
    Pay for the ground materials
    transport cost
    cost of labor (crusher, extruder, molding, taking off edges, so at least 4)
    cost of the machinery
    energy cost
    taxes
    overhead
    All that from 600 USD per day and i think the owner of the business also likes some money.
    The average salary in South Africa is 1400 USD/month. Thats about 63 USD per working day.
    With a staff of 4 thats already 250 USD gone.
    Thats only viable with subsidies. Not bad if you put a special tax on plastics to finance re use.
    But this kind of re use still puts the micro plastics into the environment

    Though I like seeing it made into bricks, I would like to see the surface of these bricks made with indentations that would enable, after they were used to make walls for buildings, to be parged, i.e. covered with a lime or cement 3/8 to 1/2 inch covering spread over for fire-proofing and to eliminate the loss of, the erosion of micro- plastics, and what damage the sun might have if these bricks were not so covered. If it should prove that more strength is required in the bricks, perhaps chopped fiberglass strands might be considered to be added to the mix.
