Students of the Chemical Engineering department at the Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata, came up with a technology to produce highly efficient and low-cost plastic blocks from plastic waste as an alternative for traditional bricks. The innovation will help reduce plastic waste and save the environment and soil. The cost of producing the plastic block is nearly 30% cheaper compared to conventional bricks. They are also stronger and lighter than concrete blocks and can hold twice the weight of conventional blocks. The team of BTech students comprising Debarghya Mukherjee, Soumyajit Mundu, Saubhik Malik, Ishita Samanta and Sanya Sharma is being guided by professor Avijit Ghosh.
