If they can do it why can't we recycle plastics into bricks?


 

There is a company in Kenya that recycles plastic waste into a product that can be sold Plastic bricks. This is done by Nzambi Matee - Young Champion of the Earth 2020. Nzambi Matee, a 29-year-old trained engineer and schooled in biochemistry, created new ways of converting waste into sustainable materials. These bricks are stronger than concrete. As I look around the rest of the world I wonder why this can't be done anywhere else. I look at the amounts of plastic waste scattered around the countryside and in the oceans. I look at how much waste goes into landfills and I wonder if Nzambi Matee can do this making road paving and bricks for houses then why can't this happen in other parts of the world.
