  • One Solution For Our Plastic Problems
    Aug 1 2024

    Here in Tucson, AZ ByFusion can take discarded food packaging, plastic grocery bags and bubble wrap, etc, that recycling plants often can’t process and turn it into ByBlocks, 22-pound construction blocks. The ByBlock creation process just uses steam and compression.

    I discuss the plastics problem in general, the program here in Tucson, and other things you can do.

    Learn more by reading my Plastic Blocks From Non-Recyclables article which has more background info, helpful links, and more!
