The process of turning plastic into a brick begins with the collection of plastic waste from various sources. The collected plastic is then washed and dried to remove dirt and unwanted materials. After washing, the plastic is sorted by type. Once sorted, the plastic is shredded into small pieces to make it easier to mix. The shredded plastic is then combined with chemicals and a concrete mixture inside a mixer to bind the materials together. This mixture is thoroughly mixed until it becomes uniform and workable. Finally, the mixture is poured into molds and left to set, forming strong and durable plastic bricks suitable for construction.
