Flammable, toxic when Flammable, no one would insure a structure built from it. Might make a nice paver system, or garden border. Biggest problem will be UV Breakdown.

Nice idea. That said, concrete doesn't melt, though.

I'd be concerned about what came leeching out of the walls 10-20 years down the road, tbh.

Okay, what's the bottleneck? Why hasn't this taken off everywhere?

FROM PLASTIC WASTE TO LASTING PATHS! Plastic waste is one of the greatest environmental challenges of our time, but it can also become part of the solution. Instead of relying solely on concrete, discarded plastics can be recycled and combined with sand or other aggregates to produce durable composite slabs for walkways, pavements, and selected drain covers. This innovative approach not only reduces plastic pollution but also lowers the demand for cement, cuts carbon emissions, and promotes a circular economy where waste is transformed into valuable infrastructure. By converting plastic waste into long-lasting construction materials, we can create cleaner communities, protect the environment, and demonstrate that what was once considered waste can become a resource for sustainable development. ♻️🌍

Only 10% of Nigeria’s 2.5 million tons of annual plastic waste gets recycled. The rest? It clogs our drainage systems, pollutes our environment and threatens our health. But young innovators like Victoria Francis are changing that, starting from the streets of Akwa Ibom. Through Plastic Cultured, she and her team are turning collected waste into fuel, mattresses and plastic bins. Their innovation is about more than just recycling; it’s about creating jobs, protecting the environment and building cleaner communities for residents and tourists alike. Thanks to the Young Africa Innovates Programme, Victoria now has the support, mentorship and tools to scale her idea and push for a zero plastic waste culture across Nigeria. In partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, we’re empowering atypical and underrepresented innovators especially young women and community-based change makers to build solutions that work.

India’s waste-to-wealth push is converting agricultural, plastic, and municipal waste into ethanol, bio-CNG, and road materials. This reduces pollution, cuts fuel imports, and lowers infrastructure costs. Under Nitin Gadkari this initiative boosts farmer income, creates green jobs, and strengthens the circular economy. #e20fuel #biofuel #ethanol #nitingadkari

𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 Morgan Bona, CEO of Green Action for Sustainable Production, has called for greater responsibility in managing plastic waste, urging households to embrace waste segregation at source. Speaking during the National Cleaning Day, Bona said manufacturers must play their part in ensuring that packaging materials, particularly plastic bottles, are collected and recycled after use. Green Action for Sustainable Production, an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) organisation supported by manufacturers including Coca-Cola, Pepsi and Hariss International, is among the key sponsors of the National Cleaning Day. The organisation donated an assortment of cleaning materials to Kira Municipality to support the cleaning exercise. Bona emphasised that proper waste segregation creates value, enabling waste collectors to earn from recyclable materials. “A bottle that is mixed with organic waste becomes useless to us, but a bottle that is separated shall have value.” He called on Ugandans to separate waste at home and support waste collectors, who play a critical role in keeping communities clean and recovering recyclable materials. #NationalCleaningDay #OpenGovUg

In a circular economy, yesterday’s waste becomes tomorrow’s resources. The Lagos State Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources through LAWMA , is making that vision real by transforming fruit waste into clean energy through innovative processing in line with The Lagos State Govt Waste-to-Energy initiative. At Ikosi Market, organic waste was collected and converted into liquid for biogas production. It is one of many ways we are turning waste into environmental solutions for Lagos. A cleaner, greener Lagos starts with how we treat waste. Join us in creating are cleaner, greener Lagos. #CleanerLagos #AGreaterLagosRising

🚨 Corporations are now recycling plastic waste and turning into Vanilla Flavoring and adding it into our food products “Did you guys know that vanilla flavoring can be made out of plastic waste? They're doing this through genetically engineered bacteria, and they're already adding it to some foods we eat, so they're trying to upcycle plastic bottles, specifically ones that use PET and TA. And by the way, that engineered bacteria is actually E. Coli. So can somebody please explain to me why we know that microplastics, nanoplastics accumulate in the body and cause Alzheimer's, dementia, cognitive decline, stroke, plaque buildup is really bad for our health. Why are we intentionally adding it to our food?”
