BRIKKA: Building Better with PVC Waste and Epoxy Resin

Brikka is an innovative stepping stone that serves as an eco-friendly replacement for traditional cement and sand stepping stones. This product is made using recycled materials, particularly PVC conduit, which is difficult to dispose of and contributes to environmental waste. By recycling PVC conduit, we can help reduce waste and support environmental sustainability. One of the key advantages of Brikka is that it is resistant to moss growth, unlike regular stepping stones. Additionally, the product is waterproof, as it is made from waterproof materials, making it more durable and long-lasting. For this project, we used PVC conduit, resin epoxy with hardener epoxy, and a plastic shredder machine to create the product. The drying process takes approximately three days for the product to fully harden and be ready for use. The results of three tests conducted on Brikka showed promising outcomes. The product not only addresses environmental concerns but also helps reduce costs by replacing sand and cement with recycled materials.

Abstract

Brikka is an innovative stepping stone that serves as an eco-friendly replacement for traditional cement and sand stepping stones. This product is made using recycled materials, particularly PVC conduit, which is difficult to dispose of and contributes to environmental waste. By recycling PVC conduit, we can help reduce waste and support environmental sustainability. One of the key advantages of Brikka is that it is resistant to moss growth, unlike regular stepping stones. Additionally, the product is waterproof, as it is made from waterproof materials, making it more durable and long-lasting. For this project, we used PVC conduit, resin epoxy with hardener epoxy, and a plastic shredder machine to create the product. The drying process takes approximately three days for the product to fully harden and be ready for use. The results of three tests conducted on Brikka showed promising outcomes. The product not only addresses environmental concerns but also helps reduce costs by replacing sand and cement with recycled materials.
