SAVE WATER BRICK made from leaves and discarded plastic absorbs water
Desh | Nov 21 2009

Providing a sensible solution to the green waste and the plastic trash, the Korean designers Jin-young Yoon and Jeongwoong Kwon have come up with their highly absorptive SAVE WATER BRICK. Their design process involves the subjection of waste through a recycling process. The entry was shortlisted in the Designboom’s Green Life competition.

The concept involves pulverization of fallen leaves and plastic that further undergoes a blending process. At any cost, it is comparatively more rational than burning the refuse as the production of these bricks doesn’t generate emissions. Not only do these bricks absorb water but also allow it pass through the waterways engraved on them. This water can be stored either underground or in tanks for future use.
