    7. Buy plastic bottles of grout and tile cleaner. Return to step 1.

    Its not recycle but rather Downcycled. These things doesnt account plastic degradation overtime - photodegradation - thermal deg - physical deg !!!!

      Truth be told. It's sad, but true. Although I hope they go for the material that's used in these big outdoor toys for kids, I would guess HDPE.
      PET seems to have some potential as 3d print filament, but I have no experience with this topic myself.
      I worked with PP. And the stuff in the video could be this as well, judging on the gooey properties. Should be resistant to heat and moisture, but it's a mess to work with imo.
      Anyways, stepping forward to test this out is a great move and should count as citizen science. Later others can "build" on the results 💪

    I was under the impression that recycled plastic was not a good building material, because of the amount of extremely toxic fumes when burning.

    I don’t think those tiles will wear for a long period of time. It’s a great idea though.

    It actually looks decent, and i commend the effort involved, but the problem is its just slightly postponing the time bc it inevitably gets ripped out and put in landfill : /
    If you really want to salvage it, it would make sense to keep it in a form where it can be melted and transformed again when at end of "life".

      That's not how microplastic behaves. We usually eat as a pollutantin in our nutrition. So just don't eat the wall tiling I guess.

      You're right in that there's an alarming presence of microplastic in food (and water), however, it does not mean that it's solely there. Inhaling plastic particles is just as real, almost as common, and just as concerning.@@AlexTrusk91

      Can you really tell the difference from equivalent sized and colored ceramic tiles? I don't really like the small square style tile either, but if that's what you're going w, the plastic doesn't change aesthetic

      Maybe it just needs a glossy finish. I most often see fake tiles posing as expensive stuff anyways
