Teenagers In Nigeria Are Converting Plastics To Bricks For Construction

[@dareadel]

Excellent innovation! I might advise wearing protective masks for workers so that one great solution does not create long-term health problems. I wish you good luck and I hope the government can assist you

[@hawtnsweet]

Mind blowing! Killing two birds with one stone. So extremely proud of these young people. I hope the government or somebody with the reach and resources can adopt and help them scale up. This is sorely needed in Nigeria.

[@emmanuelamoh182]

Brilliant problem solving skills, I extremely proud of you guys keep up the great 💡.

[@oyinkansolaogunyinka487]

Amazing. I am proud of you guys!

[@GabeKubanda]

That's amazing, we need that over here in the states! :)

[@godisaboveallthings1959]

I dont live in Africa so dont know what is the life style like there or how people live. But I have burned plastic before and it gives off a black and thick smoke, that smoke dont smile good so I know it dont go well with the body, how long will these guy work before this smoke starts effecting them and doing damage to they respiratory system, and two that smoke can not be good when going into the air not good for the environment it can cause something you call black rain. It's a good idea to see young guys really come together and be innovative but still looking out for they health and the health of others.

[@jeremiah6995]

Thanks for your comments. As a matter of fact, I work with the group mentioned in the video. We don't actually burn the plastic. We melt it in the presence of a limited amount of oxygen.

[@michaelfagbohun5397]

They don't burn plastic, they met in an enclosed system.

[@relentlessmadman]

@@jeremiah6995 good that you are aware of the safety, and pollution concerns

So you won’t provide any information about their company?? No links, nothing???

[@bertrandmelomane9548]

This is an awesome idea and it can really help in reducing pollution. Just be careful with those fumes though

Best innovation. Proud of you guys. Keep it up💪🏻 From:- Mizoram, India.👍🏻

Just Advice, hope it help. Can u imagine if you make your Brick become like Lego Brick. So no need Cement anymore

[@baloog8]

Yes Precious Plastic has plans for this and already done it.

[@tomben942]

Nice one, keep it up. But i have a question. When putting the melted plastic, do you put anything like oil into the mould or you just pour it directly?

[@miraculousnaija3469]

Am so glad about this Project, it will take make our eco suitable for habitation 💙

[@donatamagnarelli5239]

Nice! Well done.

[@ernestgbarbea1878]

Great job, that all Africa need inventor

[@anbukarasichandran6144]

Good work guys but I have one question 🙋‍♀️ when you heating plastic it may release GHS ? pls clarify me I am not a science background person

[@mosesdavies8302]

Making the melted plastic into roofing tiles will yield more money. To reduce environmental health hazard U can add used engine oil or used cooking oil to melt the plastic. Also add cement or clay dust on a ratio of 3:1 3 lbs plastic to 1lb cement. Make a roofing tile mold.

[@hannalagud]

I love the idea because the process is not that hard to do to recycle the plastic to create a cheaper brick yet durable but I only have two concerns: 1. Since, the plastic is being burned you think it is not polluting the air and will affect global warming? 2. Is it safe and healthy for the one who is assigned to burn them which inhales the smell of the burnt plastic. If those two concerns are both handled properly and risk-free, overall this project is totally effective and helpful to our mother earth. Hope you can answer my question. Thanks.

[@bukunolaodedinaagbaje6327]

Well done guys. I am proud of you all.

How can we donate to their business. Can you add a link to your description to their website? Thank you.

This is brilliant!! Does anyone know who these guys are? Or how I can get in touch with them? These are the types of projects we are looking to invest in.

[@olatokunboige9742]

Try contacting the TV team.... they probably will have their contacts

[@sylviasworld9397]

Great idea and very much needed but they need to invest in PPE.

[@donovandelaney3171]

Can you use that to build me a Hexacube House? Or maybe a Algeco 2002 House and a Tetrodon Home or a Futuro House?

[@lawerancelanham]

While I appreciate your efforts. I come with an important message. The way you are melting the plastic is going to damage your health..I promise. You should never let plastic smoke be in your vicinity...really you shouldn't melt it. However if you do, it should be with steam heat and in an enclosed environment with adequate ventilation. Otherwise , you will definitely gain lung cancer or something similar. It's definitely not worth it. Grind it down and use it as the aggregate.

[@bosen2418]

Pl.give,the detailed description for making plastics(waste) into bricks, without damaging environmental,and how much time to spend one lorry load it means 10 tons of brick

[@ibrahimjoel6080]

Wow. This is mind blowing

[@MrBugman2525]

U can use plastic for fog collectors for collecting water and have fresh clean water for people who don't have access to clean water

[@Just_Chelle]

I so love this...This is really what I want to do..

[@recypay2587]

I had the same idea long time ago but ended creating art with plastics instead

[@mattersarising7169]

Great work but they need protection gears

[@richardomoruyi9279]

How do I get in contact with this guy

[@hollyjoward102]

I would like to see the plastic not melted. The melting of the plastic also caused a danger to our environment. Good beginning guys, I think another safer method needs to be thought up.

[@TruckTaxiMoveIt]

Keep up the great work. But stay safe, wear eye protection, a respirator for the fumes, and gloves.

[@madoxe1979]

I would love to see someone trying to recycle all the non PET items. PET (like bottles) can be recycled quite easy already.

[@tsegamlakzerihun228]

Amazing Job. But, you need to use protection. Enhaeling any kind of smoke is very dangerous for our lungs.

[@sylvesteradim1532]

Good one guy's

[@pankajkumargupta6556]

burning or melting a plastic is itself a problem, It'll generate lots of smoke. Any solution of this?

[@addisonroubideaux2240]

Soil cement bricks can do as well

If the mound is plastic, will the heat melt the mould?

[@victimsupport4us160]

Over cooking Plastics will kill you very slowly. A simple Thermostat and a Oven will do, before reusing the plastic in a press or Mold. Look up or work out the melting points of each type of plastic you plan to re-use. Making things from all types of 8x4 plastic sheets into everyday items it was my job. Why not make plastic pipes for fresh water movement. Window Frames and Doors. Good luck with your projects from England,Wales

[@jpaultelchannel1702]

You need to file a patent on this discovery

that can be fixed with air filtering

Kids. ❤😂🎉 Saving land and polluting the air. The burning of plastics releases carcinogenic fumes. This smoke is a thousand times more harmful to these kids than smoking cigarettes.

They should wear mask when melting the plastic

[@lorilange8654]

Excellent idea but what about those toxic plastic fumes gallium and BPA fumes and all I there a way to mitigate the fumes and turn them also into combustible CO2 fuel so it won't be harmful for the environment? You guys could ship these bricks to America ..This would help African economy..

[@keletsocandice447]

[@robinwooff4577]

Great idea, but they are slowly poisoning themselves, and creating micro plastics, when they start to degrade. At least they are doing something though.
