JGiff Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Looks cool but unfortunately we need less plastic in our lives and oceans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dd you read the link? It is all recycled plastics-pop and water bottles, milk bottles, plastic chairs. But I would want to see some studies regarding the off-gassing before wanting to live in a plastic house, recycled or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquaponicsman Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 I concur that off-gassing is something that deserves more study. The house looked nice though and earthquake resistance is a huge plus. It reminded me a little of a 3D-printed house I saw recently. Using a Vulcan II 3D printer, it took 48 hours to make at a cost of US$10,000. 3D-printed houses come to a Texas village for the homeless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie Posted November 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 The off gassing was the only question I too bad about this type of material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattoleriver Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 "One panel measures one meter 20 centimeters wide by two meters 40 centimeters high with a thickness of 10 to 13 millimeters. Many of these panels come together to make a house." This sounds roughly equivalent to a 1/2" sheet of plywood or drywall. I wonder if the same material is used interior and exterior? What would be the framing between them? How are they fastened together? Interesting but I need/crave more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not in the market for a house, either. But I am sometimes interested and curious about things which don't affect me directly 🙂 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
