POLLI-brick: Turning Plastic Bottles Into Green Architecture
January 13, 2009 | Levent OZLER
From the maker of the HYmini wind and solar portable charger comes a polymer architecture brick combining post-consumer materials with environmentally friendly function.
The POLLI-Brick is made entirely of recycled materials and offers passive cooling, natural ventilation and even integrated solar/wind powered LED lighting.
The brick features a unique interlocking cylindrical shape and each brick is created from around four recycled PET plastic bottles.
The shape incorporates a great deal of air; thereby providing the thermal and sound insulation.
The POLLI-Brick offers excellent bond strength with minimal silicone sealant required due to self interlocking design.
The strength to weight ratio is also impressive thanks to the honeycomb geometry, combined with reinforced wall thickness.
