Hi Guest,

Now, you are student?! Fine. There is a suggestion for your present problem or "issue". Start to think reversely. Plastic tiles made with what? Plastics. How many type of plastics we have? Select the same together and you can make tiles by adding other materials as mentionned in the formulations, Ok? Formulations for tile making? You can find in every university library, the books are on the shelves. When you are in the school, at the university of "We don't know", you have all information how to make tiles, isn't it? So, visit those locals, please! You need thermoplastics? Collect them. You need another type of solid polymers? Collect them together and make tiles. Oh, if you have liquid waste, analyze it and if you will find some DBP or another plasticizers, you can use them too. One thing, the cost of tile made from waste is probably higher than made with new raw materials. While? The cost of collecting, analyzing, separating, and reusing to produce lower quality and higher price products. I already confirmed that by producing paints from only paint wastes collected in a few and specific locations, paint selling stores. The collection, selecting, and separation was much simpler but the quality and the selling price were lower but the cost per unit was higher than normally made from fresh and good raw materials, and finally, we have 35% to 45% of real and unuseable waste. So, study those informations and do it, and don't forget to tell us the final results, quality and costs. Just a few words, from Gil.
