South Africa's plastic waste is being turned into bricks

  • 2020-05-15

Amidst the global plastic waste problem, South Africa has successfully reduced plastic waste by turning recycled plastic bottles and discarded plastic packaging into recyclable bricks for use in daycare centers and other structures. According to the 2018 "State of Waste in South Africa" ​​report, of the 42 million tons of waste generated in South Africa in 2017, only approximately 11% was recycled. Waste-ED, a local South African NGO founded in 2012, is dedicated to helping the country address waste issues. Besides educating schoolchildren about waste, they also provide consultations and introduce the production of these recyclable plastic bottle bricks for use in schools and other simple buildings. These recyclable plastic bottle bricks originated in the northern Philippines and have since been used in developing countries struggling to address plastic waste, helping local governments recycle waste. Currently, many buildings in Cape Town's suburbs, including daycare centers, are constructed with these recyclable bricks. Cape Town currently has over 20,000 collection points for these recyclable plastic bottle bricks, and they collaborate with schools to engage children in making and using the bricks. South Africa's major contributor to plastic reduction: Bricks made from recycled PET bottles. (Source: PTS News)
