“THE FEASIBILITY OF
MANUFACTURING
PAVING BRICKS FROM
USED STYROFOAM AND
PLASTIC BAGS”

2. In Partial Fulfillment of the Course
Requirement in PROJECT FEASIBILITY
STUDY (INEN 3222), we will be presenting
our project “The Feasibility of
Manufacturing Paving Bricks from used
Styrofoam and Plastic Bags” which aims to
apply Industrial Engineering techniques
and principles to develop a new
product/service that can be helpful
environmentally and economically.
INTRODUCTION

3. What are Paving Bricks or pavers?
Paving bricks are materials that are
manufactured to be laid flat on the ground.
They are different from the type made to
be used vertically for walls and chimneys
and other construction projects. They can
withstand both hot and cold temperatures,
snow and rain, and foot traffic.
THE PRODUCT

4. Asphalt
Concrete
Brick
Stone
Tile
Wood
Earth Materials
Synthetics
PAVERS CAN BE MADE FROM:

5. Are materials that look like the
natural product but are made from
unnatural material bonded together.
Examples
include, sponge, sponge
rubber, rubber mats, plastics, cork
and various combinations of these
with a binder coating material, such
as asphalt.
SYNTHETICS

6. Recycling
Plastic bag and foamed/expanded
polystyrene, or most commonly known as
Styrofoam, are major sources of waste
disposed in our country especially in Metro
Manila
Average of 2700 tons of these materials
dumped in Payatas everyday
Material properties such as thermo
plasticity which makes it possible to be
melted and formed into a new shape
WHY THESE RAW MATERIALS?
