Looks interesting and I'd expect them to have good insulative properties. I wonder if Lego has patent protection on the idea. I used to pick up some 'lumber' made of recycled plastics when I was still working. I never priced it but they told me that it is not cheap when I asked about cost.

Definitely not.  Firstly, Legos don't interlock like that, and secondly, Lego hasn't been able to prevent all the other toy companies from copying their basic design, so I doubt they'd have anything to say about something outside the toy sector.

Really interesting concept. Thanks for showing us Phillip. I wonder what their UV properties are like.How long will they last? Do they off- gas? Being able to mix different styles of plastic together with a cement binder is a great idea. If production costs are reasonably low, they will solve many problems.

I didn't consider leaving them exposed to the elements, I was more thinking that they would be covered with a siding of some sort. I don't think I'd want water making its way through the crevasses. And are they mixing plastic types? They are still at least softening the plastic with heat and I've always heard that different plastic types don't mix and that what we call type 2 is what is made into lumber. That's what we use in milk jugs, laundry jugs and such.
