D-eco Brick: Transforming Plastic Waste into Decorative Ecological Bricks

An Innovative Solution to Plastic Waste

Every day, millions of plastic coffee cups, tea cups, and packaging pieces contribute to the ever-growing piles of plastic waste. DecoBrick seeks to address this issue by transforming 4 to 6 pieces of plastic waste into a 3D brick system. By using a simple plastic mold, individuals can easily create unique variations of D-eco Brick applications, making it suitable for building walls, gardens, and various other areas.

The principle behind DecoBrick is simple yet effective. It not only provides a new avenue for reusing plastic waste but also offers opportunities for carbon-free and eco-decorating in building production. This design opens up a world of possibilities for DIY enthusiasts to create their own green spaces, without the need for expert work or extensive education.

With the DecoBrick system, customers can create green walls and yards, reducing carbon emissions and improving heat prevention. The versatility of the design allows for various site applications, including wall, ground, basement, and pool installations. The possibilities are endless, and the impact on the environment is significant.

The system consists of 4 used caps and a chipboard mold basement. The mold system can be used in two different ways: a textured exterior or a hollow type specialized for planting purposes. With DecoBrick, individuals can easily create eco-deco arrangements on walls, yards, and small pool bases, fostering a greener environment.

The main material used in DecoBrick is cement with natural stone surface finishing. The plastic waste is ground up and mixed with Portland cement and chemical additives to create the bricks. Not only does this design contribute to waste reduction, but it also provides employment opportunities for unemployed individuals involved in the production process. Participants can even use the bricks to build their own houses, promoting self-sufficiency and sustainability.

DecoBricks are not only cost-effective but also comparable to traditional bricks in terms of durability, water and fire resistance, heat insulation, and sound insulation properties. In outdoor exposure tests conducted over two years, the materials have proven to withstand weather conditions and ultraviolet radiation.

The innovative D-eco Brick design has received recognition for its ingenuity and creativity. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Building Materials and Construction Components Design category in 2012. This prestigious accolade is bestowed upon designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills, contributing to quality of life improvements and making the world a better place.
