Manufacturing and building processes generate just as much carbon as the operation of a building. We believe to lower the overall carbon footprint in the building lifecycle is to use the material with minimum carbon emission in its production stage. The CO2 generated in manufacturing glass, aluminum, steel and concrete elements cause more carbon dioxide emissions than we can ever save by reducing the energy consumption in lighting, heating and air conditioning. Furthermore, toxic adhesives and materials used either directly or during the manufacturing process make many green building materials become suboptimal choices.

Despite the fact that there are multiple uses for post-consumer PET and PE, waste polymers are still not economically valuable enough to stop people from throwing it in landfills and seas. Postconsumer PET can be a resource re-engineered to become a translucent, insulating, light, strong and mechanically recyclable building material. POLLI-Brick outper forms conventional solutions both in terms of embedded carbon footprint and operational efficiency. 160 Wasting 140 Recycling 120 100 80 Recycling potential throgh MINIWIZ application 60 40 20 0 1990 1992 1994 1996 1998 2000 2002 2004 2006 * Source : GBI Research. ** Source : 2010 2030, Inc / Architecture 2030.

Innovation Revolutionize the Way of Recycle Plastics POLLI-Brick is a revolutionary building material made from 100% rec ycled Polyethylene Terephthalate Polymer. It is translucent, naturally insulated, and durable. The modular 3-D honeycomb self-interlocking structure makes it extremely strong without any chemical adhesives, while weighing only one-fifth of standard curtain wall systems. The crossindustry R&D hybridization keeps the recycling process economically efficient since POLLI- Brick can be mass manufactured on site, dramatically reducing the carbon footprint when compared with conventional glass and steel structures. Distinctive Features POLLI-Brick Life cycle Made from Recycled Materials Made of non-toxic, post-consumer recycled PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate Polymer) Minimal energy consumption during the production process. Assemble Reusable and Recyclable No cohesives used. Easily reusable. Fully recyclable after serviced life. Remould Recycle Build Modularize Non-Toxic No chemical binders used in recycling and rerecycling processes. Meets requirements on Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). Low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) All materials used for indoor cladding release no harmful quantities of VOC Construction on Site PET is locally sourced. Blow-molded into POLLI-Brick on or close to construction site. Reduces transportation of building materials. POLLI-Brick are assembled into handy modules that can easily be mounted reducing construction time.
Modularization and Customization With unique honeycomb shape interlocking units, POLLI-Brick can be assembled into rectangular panels or any customized shape. It can be tailored to either a simple modular, quick to install, affordable cladding system or a state-of- the-art interactive color LED integrated animated building skin system. Futhermore, the system sustains radical lateral force up to Category 5 hurricanes, without any damage or water seepage. The performance enhanced films enforce the panel strength while providing extra protection against UV, water and fire. The PC coating makes the POLLI-Brick panel scratchresistant and easy to clean. POLLI-Brick can further enhance its environmental durability with biaxial-oriented metallized film to give the building facade and roofing a semi-translucent aluminum finish with unbeatably low carbon footprint.

Advantages Super Strong A POLLI-Brick panel can bear up to 3,300 Pascal of destructive lateral wind force with only one-fifth of the material weight of the standard curtain wall system. Ultra-light Not only does the POLLI-Brick reduce energy consumption in both transportation and construction phases, but the dead load itself reflects cost saving potential within the building structure.
