Students from level 3, term 1 developed “The Plastic Brick-making Machine” as a project in the Product Design and Development Sessional


The main objective of “The Plastic Brick-making Machine” is to control plastic pollution by making bricks from waste plastic.  Triple-layer plastic, including various types of thermostatic plastic with sand (2:1), is heated inside the mixing jar and creates mold. This mold is then converted into bricks with the help of a press machine.  The machine has a shredding portion that makes plastic into tiny particles, the mixing jar heats the plastic and sand, and the mixing blade is connected to the Tech gear motor, which helps to mix the sand and plastic thoroughly. We are trying to develop our product and also trying to add some new features. The product is on a waiting list from BCC (Bangladesh Computer Council).

Level-3, term-1 students with “The Plastic Brick-making Machine” at IPE Product Showcasing on 24th January 2024.
