[Audio] Slide number four introduces our project outline. Our team, Team PRITHVI RAKSHAKAS, is focused on creating sustainable bricks from waste plastics to address environmental concerns and promote eco-friendly construction practices. These bricks are designed for non-load bearing applications and offer several advantages over traditional red bricks. Our goal is to overcome the disadvantages of plastic bricks and reduce their contribution to building construction. This will have a positive impact on the environment and provide a more sustainable option for the construction industry. We have dedicated a significant amount of research and effort into this project and are confident in its potential impact on the construction world. With that, let's move on to our next slide..

[Audio] The problem statement for building construction involves non-structural elements, such as bricks and blocks, which account for approximately 25 to 35% of the construction. These traditional materials, like red bricks, have a negative effect on the environment. However, our new sustainable bricks made from waste plastics have the potential to replace 70 to 100% of red bricks in interior partitions and 30 to 60% in external walls and light pavements. This not only addresses environmental concerns, but also promotes eco-friendly construction practices. We have been making significant progress in reducing the use of non-structural elements in building construction, and I am excited to share our achievements with you. Let's move on to the next slide to see the positive impact of our sustainable bricks in the construction industry..

[Audio] We will discuss the various applications of our sustainable brick technology, specifically the potential it has to revolutionize the construction industry and bring numerous benefits to the environment and the built environment. Our sustainable bricks can be used for partition walls, providing a sturdy and eco-friendly solution for dividing spaces in a variety of settings such as offices, homes, and public spaces. They are also suitable for garden pathways and walkways, providing a strong foundation and helping to reduce plastic waste in the environment. Our interlocking floor tiles and paver blocks offer a versatile and durable option for flooring, made from recycled plastic and suitable for a range of applications. Additionally, our sustainable bricks can be used for boundary and compound walls, serving as boundaries for properties and aiding in reducing environmental pollution. They are also a great solution for planter boxes and garden edging, both functional and aesthetically pleasing features that enhance the appeal of any garden or outdoor space. Our technology also enables the creation of decorative panels, adding an artistic and sustainable touch to any building with the ability to be customized to fit any design preference. Furthermore, our sustainable bricks can serve as footpath curbs, providing a strong and durable barrier for sidewalks and footpaths. They can also be used as acoustic or sound barriers, effectively reducing noise pollution and creating a peaceful and environmentally-friendly atmosphere. With endless potential for use in various construction projects, our sustainable brick technology is a valuable tool in working towards a greener and more sustainable future. Thank you for your attention..

[Audio] Our presentation today will focus on the impact of plastic pollution in India and how our project aims to address this issue. A study by researchers at the University of Leeds found that India produces 9.3 million tons of plastic waste annually, which not only harms the environment but also poses a threat to human health. As educators, it is our responsibility to equip future generations with sustainable solutions. Our project specifically targets sustainable construction and plastic waste management as key issues. By using waste plastic to create sustainable bricks, we are reducing the demand for traditional red bricks and offering a solution to the problem of plastic waste. Our research has shown that these bricks are just as strong, if not stronger, than traditional bricks, making them a viable option for building construction while promoting eco-friendly practices. Additionally, our project aims to eliminate the use of non-structural elements such as plastic bags as filler material in building construction. By utilizing plastic waste in a productive and environmentally friendly manner, we are not only promoting sustainable construction but also addressing the issue of plastic pollution. In conclusion, our project is not just about creating sustainable bricks, but about creating a sustainable future for generations to come. Let us continue our efforts towards a cleaner and healthier environment through innovative solutions..

[Audio] We will now discuss the advantages of our sustainable bricks made from waste plastics. These bricks are produced using a closed-loop system, where plastic flakes are the main raw material, ensuring no waste and efficient use of materials. Our bricks are lightweight, making them easy to transport and handle during construction. They are also water and chemical resistant, providing long-lasting durability and reducing maintenance costs. Additionally, these bricks are environmentally friendly and help to lessen the environmental impact of construction activities. Another benefit is their increased durability compared to traditional red bricks, making them a more cost-effective option in the long term. Furthermore, they have excellent thermal insulation properties, reducing energy consumption and costs. These bricks are also easy to handle, making them a practical and convenient choice for builders and construction workers. Overall, our sustainable bricks offer numerous advantages, making them an ideal and responsible choice for modern construction. Let's take a moment to recognize the innovation and benefits of our sustainable bricks and how they contribute to a better and more sustainable future. Next, we will explore the next stage of our project and how we plan to bring these bricks to the market..

[Audio] Our company, Team PRITHVI RAKSHAKAS, is dedicated to developing sustainable bricks made from waste plastics. Our goal is to address environmental concerns and promote eco-friendly construction practices in the building industry. However, in our journey to achieve this, we have encountered challenges and disadvantages that we must overcome. These include poor fire resistance, emissions during production, and thermal expansion. Traditional red bricks commonly have poor fire resistance, but our sustainable bricks with waste plastic materials have a higher resistance, reducing the risk of fire and increasing building safety. Emissions during production is a disadvantage of traditional bricks, but our sustainable bricks address this issue by utilizing waste plastic materials, reducing emissions and promoting a circular economy. Additionally, our sustainable bricks have a lower thermal expansion rate compared to traditional bricks, making them more durable and able to withstand temperature changes. Our sustainable bricks not only offer multiple benefits, but also provide solutions for the existing disadvantages of traditional bricks. We are proud to be making a positive impact in the construction industry and the environment..

[Audio] As we have come to the last slide of our presentation, let us further explore our goal of creating sustainable bricks from discarded plastics. Our objective is to address environmental issues and promote environmentally-friendly construction methods by overcoming the disadvantages of traditional red bricks. How do we plan to achieve this? By adding specific components to improve fire resistance and durability, and by applying coatings or plasters after laying the bricks. We are also utilizing a controlled temperature environment to reduce gas emissions and incorporating mineral fillers, fibers, heat stabilizers, and other elements to control thermal expansion. Through these techniques, we not only enhance the quality of our bricks, but also lessen their impact on the environment. As educators in higher education, it is our responsibility to advocate and implement sustainable solutions in every aspect of our lives. We hope to inspire and encourage further exploration and implementation of such eco-friendly practices. With that, I would like to express my gratitude for your attention and participation in this meeting. Let us continue to work towards a greener and more sustainable future..
