  • Patent number: 6329437
    Abstract: The universal building material for construction engineering is made from plastic waste material from any and all types of plastics and/or from newly made or fresh plastic materials and is used to make various improved building components, building elements or buildings. The material is environmentally friendly and does not cause any health problems. The material can be combined with other building materials and raw materials. It is also not easily inflammable and has very good heat transfer and thermal insulation properties. In addition, it is waterproof, weatherproof, and it can easily be worked with. The material also has the property that the waste that it produces is always reusable. It has also comparatively small financial and economical expenses during the production and fabrication. The material conserves natural resources and complies with legal requirements in the building industry.
