I can sort of testify to this. I got a mortgage for an earth-buried eco home and struggled to find a good deal. The rule seemed to be if the house was either of "unusual construction" *or* of "unusual materials" they wanted 40% deposit up front. Mine was of the former. In the end I was able to get a mortgage from the building society that had lent to the architect who build the place for a 5 or 10% deposit (my choice), although I still needed to pay for a full "tier 3" survey which came back with such things as "appears to have no guttering" - for £750 I was expecting them to at least pin their colours to the mast on such details 🙄 So clearly this would hamper prospective buyers until it was classed as an established material.

@user936 It is comments like yours that make me think the western world is officially borked. Not because of you but because of all the stories of aggregious things the institutions put us through like as if it is just the norm to be used and ill treated especially concerning essential needs like housing. The more we need it the more someone sitting in a chair somewhere will use that need to wrench down on us as tight as possible. I don't understand how many people don't seem to mind this?

This seems an interesting idea, but like many others commenting, I'd have like to have seen a bit about the crushing strength and weathering characteristics.

How much pressure can they withstand in various temp. Conditions? What are the pros and cons when compared to the common red ceramic? It looks lighter. Can it stop bullets? I'm completely on board. Just like to think critically.

If you go to Wales where they produced natural slates there are mountains of rejected slates which can still be used for house walls that can survive high speed floods as seen in Cornwall .

Any curing time ? What comes out when it is broken or cut in half ? Are they hard or soft ?

When the algorithm reunites us in ten years time. This will still not be a thing.

What do you use for binding other than cement

How can the bricks be made to a consistent recipe when the construction waste isn't likely to be consistently the same composition? Won't the bricks' performance be variable depending on exactly what went into them? Won't walls built with these bricks be likely to crack as a result of varying brick properties?

compression compression as is with low heat no shredding or sorting keep it simple. like use steel compression equipment. sheets, bricks boards, etc.

Yeah dig it but how sturdy is it when building with this stuff and is it going to withstand weather of all sorts

I would think it’s good for brick siding, and non load bearing uses. They’re doing this in India making recycled plastic bricks for siding and roofing tile panels. Somehow I imagine compression strength isn’t up to clay kiln fired bricks.

Amazing can you advise if it’s possible to buy the license to produce this in Asia. In short I want to invest in this process.

Densification, water is used but not the “bonding agent” Mixed at a high heat, and pressed into shape. They do this all over Africa.

Is it cheaper than regular bricks ?

and they release no harmfull gasses?

Carrying capacity and crush/break strength, while an important, are not a massive concern considering how often bricks are used in very light or non-loading bearing capacities. Obviously, for construction those will be factors that need to be looked at but even if these were just used for exterior purposes, it would mitigate resource loss. The bigger consideration is what happens when consistent heat is applied to them; if they give off fumes when exposed to heat then they may be more dangerous to people and contribute to climate issues than traditional bricks.

Nice innovation. Can we also do that in Namibia?

Instead of clean fresh self water, what if they used sea water?

Alternatively you can use a 100% recycled brick that's actually an unique design. Precious Plastic / Recycle Rebuild offer a brick design that can be made out of HDPE and PP plastics. This isn't much of a step forward, whereas the alternative is a huge leap in the right direction.

Exactly. One thing that isnt so impressive about the K-Briq is that it still is just some proprietary 'thing' that requires your subscription to big players. I'd rather make my own products and trade with others who do the same. Its much more fulfilling and if people do it more often it will literally turn garbage into something of value that might even help the poorest of the poor start to form actual wealth and material assets (because of forming an economy within an economy that cannot be tampered with as easily since the products have solid value and the source is basically free)

Yeah, but what's the binder? Why not just buy a compressed earth brick maker and just make the bricks onsite.

The brick must be stuck together with something. What is used, some kind of plastic resin ? What's the lifespan of these bricks exposed to the weather and can they be recycled themselves?

I see you too have discovered the secret sauce that is gasoline goop.😂 I once made a small brick out of mostly sand and (gasoline+styrofoam=goopy goop). Like 10% goopy goop 😂 90% sand. (Or just add sand until it starts for form stringy webs when kneeded and then compress your lump into a form (i used a box).The brick had the strength/squishy and bendy texture of a granola bar for like 3 days to a week until it became so hard it feels like an actual brick now maybe harder. Had a gasoline smell for a long time. It makes a 'tink' sound when you flick it hard enough but doesnt feel hollow. Voids and air pockets can form in these depending on the ratio of sand to goop. Thats not always a bad thing in my opinion. Btw the ratio of polystyrene to gasoline I used was a 1:1 ration of the two based on measurement of weight. There may be better ratios this was my first experiment and was very loosely measured when i mixed in the sand. Hope this helps someone somewhere.

conventional made bricks have more benefits and reason for use . heating and cooling insulation for buildings , strength , sound insulation , fire resistance compared to others so less rebuilding .... Where is the peer reviewed research about the difference between conventional kiln fired bricks and these new types.

They’re making plastic bricks all over the world already this is not a new idea like they want you to believe

Iam making pavers from plastic and glass waste in kenya

If I want to test a brick I bang it with a trowel or hammer. Smoothing my fingers along the surface is no good . The idea seems better than the presentation . Cracks in walls is caused by using hard portland cement rather than lime mortar . Lime mortar allows some movement . But these bricks will not absorb moisture like a normal brick . That`s a good point . Lime mortar dries too slowly for normal building speeds . That`s a bad point .

So what trash is it made out of?
