Plastic Bricks: A Quick Alternative to Traditional Building Materials

Rural Housing

Today, one of the alternative options for building affordable housing and utility buildings in rural areas involves constructions made from plastic and rubber waste.

Firstly, the raw materials are readily available in large quantities, and secondly, they cost one-third less. Plastic blocks are assembled easily, just like Lego bricks; they are fire-resistant and resistant to deformations.

No special skills are required for building these structures. It is possible to construct housing and buildings independently in short periods. The key is to find the materials and provide the necessary preparation for constructing such buildings.

Ecological Playgrounds and Park Furniture from Plastic Bottles

Today, the Uralthermoplast plant successfully utilizes innovative technologies, producing polymer profiles from pressed plastic and polyethylene.

Using the foreign method of melting, it is possible to recycle waste and manufacture various products for country cottages and playgrounds: slides, gazebos, wells, fences, benches, seats, trash cans, and pallets.

Products made from plastic waste — vibrant benches and trash cans — have become popular among urban residents, as they are installed in parks and on the streets of Ekaterinburg.

Ecological outdoor furniture made from recycled materials is visually similar to wooden furniture.

However, it offers several advantages:

• Materials for their production are available in any city.
• Cheaper than wooden alternatives.
• Not susceptible to environmental effects – they do not rot. They are resistant to woodworm and require less frequent painting.

Modern innovative technologies recycle heaps of waste, solving the problem of its accumulation. They also contribute to improving the environment and enable the construction of ecologically friendly housing and playgrounds.
