Environmental pollution caused by plastic products has escalated and become a growing concern. A research team from Hong Kong Metropolitan University (HKMU) has studied the production of eco-bricks using plastic waste to promote the recycling and reuse of plastic. The new eco-bricks can reduce landfill waste by turning waste into treasure and provide the construction industry with another environmentally friendly building material. The eco-bricks outperform traditional bricks in terms of durability, waterproofing, and sound and thermal insulation and offer significant cost savings in construction projects. With a short-term patent granted by the Intellectual Property Department of Hong Kong, it is hoped that the eco-bricks will be widely used in the construction industry in the future to promote sustainable green building materials....
