Byblocks by Anika Napgal X-I

Byblock is a revolution in building. Not only is it made with a zero-waste process that uses one ton of plastic to make one ton of Byblock, but also it won't crack or crumble as concrete does. It is the future of building. Coming in at 16" by 8" by 8" and weighing 10 kilograms, each block is a sustainable source of fast and efficient building. They don't need glues or adhesives, making them zero waste at an even bigger level and quick on the installation. An eco-friendly process is used to combine steam and compression, converting all types of plastic waste into the Byblock. Each block can be used to build retaining walls, sound walls, sheds, accents and furniture, but with each one, it is also building a better future.


ByBlock helps you build faster, cleaner, and greener than any construction block on the market. Made of recycled and often unrecyclable plastic waste, ByBlock gives builders, architects, weekend warriors, and DIY'ers alike a sustainable, high-performing construction material usable for anything from walls to sheds and furniture to fencing. The qualities that make plastic such a valuable material for packaging are exactly what make it one of the most powerful building materials around. It's malleable, insulative, and doesn't degrade easily. Using our proprietary system which uses only steam and compression, ByFusion's clean technology maximizes these traits by processing recovered plastic waste of any sort into ready-made building materials, thus offering builders around the world an easy-to-use, eco-friendly, and inexpensive product to use in residential or commercial settings. The makers of Byblock team up with material recycling facilities, governments, municipalities and corporations to create their product and tackle the world’s plastic crisis.


Did you know that 8 million pieces of plastic make their way into our oceans each day?

Plastic as a material is relatively inexpensive to manufacture, durable, versatile, and can serve a multitude of beneficial purposes. However, the adverse impact plastic waste is having on our environment is due to the mismanagement of this complex material. Plastic waste has become one of the world’s greatest environmental and economical challenges. Today, humans spend over $120B to create over 311M tons of plastic waste every year and only 8% of plastic is recycled! The other 92% is either landfilled, clogging up communities’ critical infrastructure, incinerated- and contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, or it is leaked into our streets and, of course, our oceans and waterways. It is time we re-evaluate the unsustainable relationship society has to plastic to facilitate a more financially and environmentally efficient solution. Plastic is not the problem. The lack of proper management of plastic waste is the problem.


The global plastic recycling industry has been in the spotlight over the last few years due to increasing awareness about the abundant plastic waste problem, carbon emissions issues and the need to reduce them both. This coupled with the recent China ban, which took effect in December 2017, has accelerated the need for new and different solutions to plastic waste. ByFusion is offering such a solution through its patented process that converts all types of plastic waste into an advanced building material.


It’s not just the future generations who need Byblock, we do too. Right now. And the environment isn’t the only area that Byblock tackles- this advanced, cost-effective building materials, could easily be used for housing, helping the poor at home and abroad. The plastic doesn’t even need to be sorted or cleaned before being turned into this amazing tool. Byblock is rebuilding our future, one carrier bag, one water bottle and a broken toy at a time.
