Hi ronaldreika,

Thanks for commenting on my video. The process would involve the plastic bricks being fully covered in standard concrete. There would be no exposed plastic to catch fire. The use of these plastic replacement blocks would not be recommended in places where flammable materials would build up, such as a textile mill. However in basic housing, retail, commercial, etc. This solution would provide a solid alternative to filling walls with environmentally detrimental concrete block.

what about flammability?

i know they r being recycled into fence posts. a long range sudy on structural viability could b required to prevent collapse due to degredation. short term solutions r: bring down demand on plastics, they're killing the oceans which in turn will leave w/o marine food sources. recycle, reduce, reuse & go without, ABOVE ALL PUT IT'S PROPER PLACE OF DISPOSAL!!!! DON'T LITTER!!!
