burning plastic releases hydrochloric acid, sulfur dioxide, dioxins, furans , heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and particulate matter. Kudos for the development, but anyone processing these plastics need to wear protective respirators or face long-term respiratory and other health problems.

Not only will their health be affected but atmosphere as well (the ozone )

[@pk6422]

@@cfarp7160 material used is only sand and plastic?

[@barney992]

here crushed glass is mixed with bitumen in some places . if plastic was cut smaller should be mixed with sand easier or mixed with cement .
