Bricks from ocean plastic

After a couple of weeks of very intense work in Honolulu, Hawaii we managed to create bricks from ocean plastic.

‍

Plastic from the ocean poses many challenges to recycling but after many attempts and struggles we managed to recycled it into bricks. More on this project soon.
