Utilization of Plastic Waste Production of Hollow Blocks and Bricks ABSTRACT The objective of this IP is to prove that plastics can be recycled into reusable hollow blocks/bricks and help the environment by lessening plastic waste. In this experiment‚ plastics were cut into small pieces to use them in bricks/hollow blocks. INTRODUCTION The objective of this project is to help prevent water pollution that causes flood‚ by collecting and using plastic wrappers in making hollow blocks and bricks

but changes in climate can take hundreds or even millions of years. Plastic pollution in lakes and oceans affect climate change because it harms air quality and creates ocean toxicity. Plastic contributes to ecosystem disruption and habitat destruction. In my project I will be testing the water and shoreline in Kootenay lake to see how much plastic is polluting our lake. Scientists are trying to come up with ways to combat plastic pollution. A team of Japanese researchers described a species of bacteria

Background of the study Due to the overwhelming demand of plastic bag production and its effects on our environment‚ our landfills are crammed with these non-biodegradable materials. Substances used in the manufacturing brought forth various harmful chemicals which worsen over time. As the destructive compounds such as Chlorofluorocarbons were introduced‚ the complete deprivation of the Ozone Layer starts. However‚ scientists and nature preservers alike managed to overthrow this hazard‚ but not
