At the Material Xperience fair in Rotterdam, the designer Gert de Mulder decided to positively exploit the indestructibility of plastic bags by making bricks for green building
He is about to end up run over, his mother saves him These days the week is unfolding "Bring your shopping bag: no more plastic bags"Which aims to raise awareness on the use of municipalities plastic bags that for decompose take 100 years.Just remember that every year the i plastic bags kill over one hundred thousand living beings: marine mammals, turtles and birds in fact swallow them, mistaking them for food or they become trapped in them dying of starvation or asphyxiation.
But something is slowly changing. There are already many supermarkets starting to ban this type of product which is one of the most indestructible and which derives from petroleum.
An idea on how to reuse them is suggested to us at Material Xperience fair in Rotterdam by the designer Gert de Mulder who decided to take advantage of this indestructibility by making bricks for the green building made with the plastic bags.
I "Recy-Blocks”Are obtained by processing the bags at high temperatures; their color depends on the color of the inks used for printing on the plastic.
Finally, the designer of these unusual bricks has also thought about how to decorate them through the possibility of using different products from the creative recycling such as dried pressed flowers.
