Bricks would probably have less erosion than pavement. Sounds like a good idea to recycle plastics to eventually build housing.

1. 500 metric tons a day waste in Kenya

Ouch. I often say you could live off what America throws away, you'd be rich.

3. Compared to US waste stream? A mere fraction.

But, this could be a better end cycle use for the accumulated plastic trash than reselling to producers for regrind.

2. Totally awesome. She gives me hope for the future.

Great application of mature technology that can be repurposed to produce building products. This could be a viable alternative to 4 x 8 x 16 in concrete pads. Finishing for the US market would need to be improved....but it has a huge potential.

6. Very cool

Having been to Kenya, I can verify that they have both a garbage and a housing problem. This addresses both.

8. That's a great recycling idea!

I know for years there was recycling of old tires to make door mats.
