These recycled plastics have to prove themselves that they don’t leach harmful fumes and decompose into a hazardous waste. As such we in india do not have effective recycling of demolished concrete buildings at the end of their life cycle. They just end up in landfills.😢

No worries, heavy metals are the toxic metals like mercury, cadmium, arsenic, chromium, lead etc. However, foundry dust is just common metals like iron, steel, brass, copper and aluminum. We already use these metals every day as drinking vessels... but when micronized particulate as with foundry dust, yes, they have higher surface area and thus may have higher toxic potential, and plastic possible carcinogen- simply seal the surface with layers of laquer.

Further research needs to be done to test this product in all applications. They could use a combination of inorganic and organic chemistry and biochemistry to improve the elasticity of the silica plastic bricks and the toxicity/properties of the product when it’s exposed to human beings, air and the environment both inside and outside. You want to get a product that’s 100% safe to use around soil, land, animals, people and urban/country areas. They could partner with Indian universities, polytechnics and Israeli start up companies to research and trial improvements in their product. I am only a viewer, and not an expert in chemistry, or biochemistry.

Great idea. Converting two problems into one opportunity. Though fire hazard may be a concern, as the used plastics here are not fire retardant. Also unprotected use outside exposed to sun and weather may re-release the dust plus microplasics when the plastic breaks down from UV-exposure and chemical exposure.
