ByFusion Recycles 100 Percent of Plastic Waste into Building Material, Creating Structures in LA and Kauai for World Oceans Day
MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, ByFusion unveiled a remarkable solution to the plastic waste crisis to celebrate World Oceans Day. The ByFusion Blocker converts 100 percent of plastic waste into an advanced building material called ByBlock, diverting it from landfills and the environment. The Blocker can process any type of plastic without needing to clean, sort, or process it first, using steam and compression to reshape it into a product that is the same size of a common cinder-block but does not crack or crumble.
In honor of World Oceans Day, ByFusion is assembling a lifeguard tower made with ByBlock on the sand at Bruce’s Beach in Manhattan Beach, Calif. to show how plastic can be put to better use than becoming an environmental hazard. ByBlocks consist of plastic classifications 3-7, types that are currently unrecyclable and end up in our landfills and oceans, and surfboard foam waste, provided by Channel Islands Surfboards and Sustainable Surf.
At the event, California State Senator Ben Allen will speak at 11:45 am. Manhattan Beach Mayor Nancy Hersman will also present and a Sr. Field Representative from Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi’s office will be in attendance, along with local pro surfer Alex Gray, and beach cleanup participants organized by Heal the Bay and the South Bay Boardriders Club.
Coinciding with this project, ByFusion has donated ByBlocks made with marine debris and derelict fishing nets collected off the beaches of Kauai, Hawaii by the local Surfrider Foundation chapter to build a permanent school pavilion at The Island School in Lihue, Kauai, supported by https://contact.byfusion.com/world-oceans-day
