FabBRICK Puts An End To Fashion Waste | Textile Waste To Bricks | Green Technologies We Need

There are fewer and fewer natural resources to build with but more and more waste. Fighting back, FabBRICK transforms our old clothes into an innovative building material. In three years, FabBRICK has transformed 8 metric tons of textiles into more than 17,000 bricks.
•
Every year in Europe, 4 million metric tons of textiles are thrown away. Meanwhile, the construction sector is the largest producer of waste: 227 million metric tons in France alone. By associating these two industries in a circular approach, we could free up waste disposal sites and cut the cost for the environment!
•
This is the challenge taken up by Clarisse Merlet, an entrepreneur and architect, developed FabBRICK, bricks made from end-of-life garments.
•
Made exclusively from bio-sourced and non-polluting ingredients, on average one FabBRICK-made brick contains the equivalent of two T-shirts. A raw material that the entrepreneur receives ready shredded from a clothing collection company. The coloured scraps are mixed with a glue developed by Clarisse Merlet, then placed in a mould and mechanically compressed.
•
Developed especially for the project, the machine uses no energy other than that of the architect, who activates it with a jack. At the end of the process, the bricks dry naturally for two weeks. They are self-locking and can be stacked without moving.
•
The old clothes that we put in the special collection bins in the city find a second life: any pieces that are too damaged to be reused become excellent building materials, offering both sound and heat insulation.
