Broken Bricks Makes Lego Dreams
Concrete is a valuable resource yet we burn thru it like it’s free air so companies around the world are looking for ways to make concrete “greener” and sustainable. Last week I heard about concrete made from hemp so the future is bright but what about all the concrete we have now? There is a solution. The Broken Bricks recycling machine turns any old concrete into new Lego-like bricks for use in numerous applications. It’s pretty well thought out and I’m sure our construction mavens would love to pile these life sized toys together.

A good idea in theory, but the reason bricks are flat and don’t have the Lego style connectors is to allow the installer to level and straighten them. There are too many variables on-site to be able to use a brick that doesn’t allow for any corrections and leeway in the installation process. Make a traditional style brick with mortar cavities and this might be a good concept.

what exactly the size of the machine? i couldnt even spot it? Its form appears like a small domestic carpet autocleaner.

Yeah, I agree Ja, and it shouldn’t look like it does. Needs to be dewalted, not ipodded.

This is ridiculous. The better way to recycle is to crush and use as aggregate in another concrete mixture. This process is commonly used for larger demolition projects.
