100% Recycled Plastic Brick
The Recycled Brick.
The brick was designed over four months in collaboration with Precious Plastic in the Netherlands and was designed as a replacement to conventional masonry building while also acting as a more cost-effective and durable option than EcoBricks.
The brick aims to act as an affordable, accessible and durable alternative for low-income nations and countries affected by natural disasters.
Each brick sequesters 1.5kg of plastic waste and is made using Precious Plastic's open-source recycling machines. Allowing communities all over the world to gain access to the knowledge on how to create these bricks.
The brick is designed to work alone as a load-bearing unit while also working alongside standard building methods such as timber and metal.
Each brick is designed to lock together like Lego and is rapidly constructed with only a hammer. Making it more feasible for an inexperienced builder to build a strong and durable structure. Each brick is also hollow, reducing thermal bridging and creating better insulative properties than standard masonry construction.
