The world’s first 90% recycled brick: The K-Briq 

I can sort of testify to this. I got a mortgage for an earth-buried eco home and struggled to find a good deal. The rule seemed to be if the house was either of "unusual construction" *or* of "unusual materials" they wanted 40% deposit up front. Mine was of the former. In the end I was able to get a mortgage from the building society that had lent to the architect who build the place for a 5 or 10% deposit (my choice), although I still needed to pay for a full "tier 3" survey which came back with such things as "appears to have no guttering" - for £750 I was expecting them to at least pin their colours to the mast on such details 🙄 So clearly this would hamper prospective buyers until it was classed as an established material.

@user936 It is comments like yours that make me think the western world is officially borked. Not because of you but because of all the stories of aggregious things the institutions put us through like as if it is just the norm to be used and ill treated especially concerning essential needs like housing. The more we need it the more someone sitting in a chair somewhere will use that need to wrench down on us as tight as possible. I don't understand how many people don't seem to mind this?

really?😂 stop bullets? is that a requirement these days? even in the Uk?

😂😂😂😂😂

Considering it is not heated, i thought the same

This is exactly why you can’t make a consistent product. Also why most places won’t allow it in building materials.

Water.

What are the ingredients? How do you guys make these bricks? I would love to know so I can help my people in Senegal, waste is killing the poor countries in Africa. I really want to something about it. Thank you

@@papadiouf5204 type in 'man from ghana makes homes out of plastic'. I think that video may help you. Its given me a few ideas i don't know if my idea will work but im going to try something based on what Ive seen in that mans video documentary. I wish I could talk to you in person i could say things about this but there are people who would put up rode blocks to stop us from getting materials to make these bricks. So i hope that video helps you and i wish i could talk to you privately man.

Haggis carcasses.

@@user936 what’s that? Lamb stomach 😂

You ask too many questions. We are sending someone to speak to you about just accepting this at face value. Answer the door when they get there.

@@oldlefty1267 These questions are extremely relevant. And clearly this person is not the only one asking them. Tf.

@@Uniquess09 Sorry, my sarcasm doesn't always translate well in the written word.

@@oldlefty1267 just put a 😛 at the end of the sentence next time 👍🏼

I hope this is sarcasm. Barely any info was shared here and their idea is totally proprietary and locked up. 😂 not saying the product is worthless but clearly this will require substantial money to buy to build a home so goodluck poor people around the world who have heaps of garbage and rubble and no way to use it. Or do they? 😉 check out better more knowledge sharing projects

Exactly. One thing that isnt so impressive about the K-Briq is that it still is just some proprietary 'thing' that requires your subscription to big players. I'd rather make my own products and trade with others who do the same. Its much more fulfilling and if people do it more often it will literally turn garbage into something of value that might even help the poorest of the poor start to form actual wealth and material assets (because of forming an economy within an economy that cannot be tampered with as easily since the products have solid value and the source is basically free)

The salt would probably eat thru it

I see you too have discovered the secret sauce that is gasoline goop.😂 I once made a small brick out of mostly sand and (gasoline+styrofoam=goopy goop). Like 10% goopy goop 😂 90% sand. (Or just add sand until it starts for form stringy webs when kneeded and then compress your lump into a form (i used a box).The brick had the strength/squishy and bendy texture of a granola bar for like 3 days to a week until it became so hard it feels like an actual brick now maybe harder. Had a gasoline smell for a long time. It makes a 'tink' sound when you flick it hard enough but doesnt feel hollow. Voids and air pockets can form in these depending on the ratio of sand to goop. Thats not always a bad thing in my opinion. Btw the ratio of polystyrene to gasoline I used was a 1:1 ration of the two based on measurement of weight. There may be better ratios this was my first experiment and was very loosely measured when i mixed in the sand. Hope this helps someone somewhere.

Dig deeper.... not all pros i'm betting!

what about bricks made completely from plastic waste? they are much more resilient

@@ff-ti7nj yeah but they release a fuckton of microplastics into the environment.

not possible

Because its a somewhat mediocre solution. Way before this a brick design was made that's much better

They’re making plastic bricks all over the world already this is not a new idea like they want you to believe

These are bricks for building...Gjenge Makers does paving.

One of the steps in concrete is cooking limestone to high temperatures which both releases a massive amount of CO2 into the air and requires massive amounts of energy in the form of burning fossil fuels or using electricity.

@@DrSlobGoblin So you have data showing this to cause changes around the world?

😹

I guess if it was a global problem we wouldn't be importing brick from whomever appears to have an excess! Interested to know who though.
