ECO FRIENDLY Plastic & Sand Tiled Houses 

I would some day like to build a home that will also collect rain water for household use. So far I have learned that metal roofing is the best option for rainwater collection but this plastic and sand tiled roof looks like the superior option not to mention being more aesthetically pleasing. I hope this roofing option is available in the states.

Wow, something gorgeous and important from recycled plastics! I hope Africa takes the lead in this resource!

Fantastic use for waste plastic. My only concern is the need to use precious river sand. How long before all the rivers are dredged for their sand? Surely there is an alternative, like using the Sahara desert for instance?

Good Idea. Very well for African Industry. Greetings from Costa Rica. Center America

Instead of sand just use ground up waste glass. Filter it through a screen to keep the grain size small. If sharp points become an issue use a knock down scraper as a last step.

This is the way to go in the struggle to conserve the environment for the later generation.

this is the right approach for the African countries to make hundreds of factories like this create jobs and cheap construction materials and helps the environment yes the right approach for Africa

How do I get this done to my home in Arizona? I need a new roof for my 1950’s home as well as the separated addition in the back. I am an avid environmental enthusiast and just saw this and want this for my home.

I think this is great how can we do this in more places around the world I’m sure we have ways of making this environmentally safe for working with the materials as well as marketable

Fantastic! Keep the good work! Where can that recycle machine be bought and how much is the price? Please give the information! Thanks

I love this machine and the products, please how much does it cost.

Great idea ! Congrats and respect for you guys!

2 Questions : 1- How much durable it is? 2: If this tiles are used in hot weather how long they will survive in 40-50 Degree Centigrades, 3: What if there is FIRE in house, will it burn highly or slowly?

and they can expand into guttering to channel rainwater to water butts for example or just to a corner of the building.

What is the ratio of sand and plastic

We are a Machinery and Technology Supply Company based in Cape Town,South Africa that supplied this machinery and technology. Having been involved in the Recycling Industry for over 30 years, we identified a need for the recycling of mixed post consumer plastic waste. After many years of research and equipment design, sustainable products have been developed. Through the blending of post consumer waste plastic with sand and applying heat and pressure, a range of viable products are manufactured. These products include: • Roof tiles • Manhole covers • Paving slabs • Cobbles • Railway sleepers • Retaining blocks In 2012, the Department of Human Settlements in South Africa acknowledged the Roof Tile Product and it was awarded a Prestigious Gold Medal for the best alternative building product. In addition to this, we achieved the Best-Recycled Product Award for 2012 from SAPRO (The South African Plastic Recyclers Organization). Not only are the products lighter in comparison to conventional products, but they are also harder wearing and far more durable. The advantages of this product are endless. A few notable advantages include: Reduced weight (ensuring lower transport costs). Fewer breakages (less than 1%, as the products are not as fragile as conventional products which can have upto 10% breakages). Greater impact resistance (this can be attributed to the plastic element of the product). The product is non-porous (eliminating the risk of water absorption and fungus growth on tiles, blocks etc). Fully recyclable after use. Hailstone Proof. In addition to this. Creation of employment for the local Community. A more sustainable product that can be used in Building Projects. We have three of these plants operating in South Africa, this one in Uganda and we are currently negotiating with Nigeria, Ghana, Seychelles, Reunion, Namibia and the Maldives. We supply a full turn-key solution and hand over a fully operational plant to our customers. In addition to this, back-up is supplied in terms of spare parts and technical know-how, as well as training for key personnel and staff. Furthermore, we will assist in the design of new products to the client's specifications and implementation thereof. All of this enables us to ensure customer satisfaction at all times. . If you think this is a project that would be of a benefit to you and would care to meet with us to discuss this further, please feel free to contact us.

What about UV degradation? Sun exposure is hard on plastics.

Looks like a good idea, but what about off-gassing when it sits in the sun for years?

Brava Roof Tile offers an incredible composite product in the USA

This is what the governments and councils need to pay attention to.

What is the cost to get the complete set of the melter, mixer and the mold press?

do you have to clean plastic before extruding?

From where can I get this machine? If I am suppose to start a business such as this? Thanks

Any idea where to get these machines?

Thank you Florence

can we have an update on how much plastic this company took out of the landfills???

How much is the absorption heat? Also the radiation?

And the sand is silicone: crash old glass bottles (using glass crashing machine, see youtube for examples and prices) and you get perfect sand for your tiles!

Love this video

"Plastics + sand = Resintile"

hello please what is the temperature to melt the mixture.

Sir what about the probabilities of the tiles melting while a house catch fire.??

Also can less sand be used to reduce the weight of the tile and still maintain the tensile strength and durability of the tile

Where can I buy that machine please?

Africa let us support our own
