Published a few months ago as they could make bricks from recycled plastic through a machine called Byfusion created by Peter Lewis. Well today we found another device or tool that helps us to recycle and reuse all the paper wasted on blocks or bricks of paper. I can think of things a little more fun, you could do with these bricks of paper, not, for example, houses for cats, small shelves, tables or anything else you can practically build with blocks.

We must take the role we want to try and let soak for 24 hours, once essentially been transformed into a mass, it must be taken and put into the compressor and then press the metal bars down. The pressure will cause the water to drain completely and I guess you have to let it dry a little more. Once this process, voila! We have our own bricks of paper.
I think if you add a little white tails to the mass, would be more resistance. Always avoid sticking to the machine.

In this case, Steve Shaheen has managed to give a second life to an object unusable as a subway ticket spent making this item of furniture in an eco-friendly building also has a modern and innovative design.

To celebrate each year is important to continue practicing and spreading the culture of recycling, from home, school, family and in our work. Of course we continue through our blog.
For starters today I invite you to visit the Green blog that explains very well a glossary of terms about recycling.
The recycling of aerosol cans is expensive and requires sophisticated recycling plants and costly. A good way to reuse is through the design as we do with the chair and ottoman from Luigi Semeraro done with spray cans 200, presented at the Milan Design Week .
