Teenagers In Nigeria Are Converting Plastics To Bricks For Construction 

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

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.

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.

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

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.👍🏻

Amazing. I am proud of you guys!

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

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

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

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.

Nice! Well done.

All celebrities who travel by private planes, and lecture us about global warming, sell something and GIVE MONEY TO THESE KIDS! they are the ones who do care, and they are the ones who have to smell the poisonous gases while making their miracle bricks, because they do not afford proper protection.

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?

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

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.

I need more knoeledge

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.

How do I get in contact with this guy

Brilliant idea Can I get there contact Please

Good one guy's

Amazing! Welldone guys

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.

It is poison

"Please, wear, gas masks, when burning; PLASTICS, it's poisonous "; anyway very ingenious

Great job....

I just read a story about Byfusion - maybe it's someone these guys could work with because what they're doing here doesn't look very healthy.

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

Great. Can I get the email Id of these people? I want to discuss with them.

You should build lots of tall apartments in Africa.

Who is watching this 2021??

You guys need gas masks to work with these toxic fumes young men take care of your health please?

Bottles can make powder (like sand) and mix with sand

Air Pollution is the only flipside of this technique as far as I see...

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

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

Well done! Just one thing… Please tell them to wear masks…

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

Does anyone know their social media handle??

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

u can also sell tht machine guys so to an extra cash too

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.

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

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

Great job, that all Africa need inventor

Great work but they need protection gears

enactus to the world. by the way I hope that was just not for the competition

Good job 👏👏

Consuming lot of energy, please use solar energy for the process. See to that the pollution level is low 👍

can u guys pls share wisdom im in sa would like to start same business

What is the compressive strength of this material?

They should wear mask when melting the plastic

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.

Green house gas may release?

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..

Well done guys. I am proud of you all.

Well done guys 👍

What about the emission that it will produce out of this process...

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

Do these bricks sustain higher temperatures like in Africa?

"Great to see, young, inventors/ business people "; wow!!!!!!

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

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

Can't do this in the USA too menny regulations .

Those can replace artificial concrete cinder blocks or artificial concrete bricks

Can you please help by showing me the drawings for the shredding and melting of the plastics? Thanks.

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

How do you handle the fumes not to be emmitted to the environment

Weldon guys

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

a plastic bridge, umm no.

I wonder if it’s safe to build raised garden beds with this?

Redemption Bottle is the solution in the whole world

God bless you guys bt be careful and thank you so much... 🌲

it is good video could i get proportion of sand and plastic and procedure pdf

Why is the Nigerian Government not seeing this?!

Soil cement bricks can do as well

You need to file a patent on this discovery

They need to wear mask

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

great. Am interested in this project

Can you please help by showing me the drawings for the shredding and melting of the plastics? Thanks.

🕊💗🕊I know you're doing a wonderful thing (job, work and most of all, for all of us to live in a better planet,)thank you so much from my heart,,,what about wearing a musk???, to protect yourself from the toxic fumes!!!,,,💗🕊💗safety first💗🕊💗!!!..

But that smoke from the burning plastic will also affect the environment huh

Wow. This is mind blowing

🙌🤝

Beautiful, nice

Weldon guys

0:18 Nice to know that even simple 🚮 makes difference. 😉

Abdi oge proud da
