About The Block – AquaBlock

AquaBlock Focuses on Pre-emptive Recycling.

Reusing materials for construction purposes is not a new concept, nor is making good use of long lasting durable materials. AquaBlock is designed to be used, re-used, refilled, re-shipped and in the end finding a safe resting place within wall and structures. This previously used container offers many benefits for building including thermal insulation, no-mold and no-rot.

Please remember that these construction blocks are in theory, FREE, as they were originally used to ship goods in the first place. Let make use of a waste stream with a better system; AQUABLOCK: Fill It. Ship It. Build It.

What is the block made of?

Made from 100% recyclable content = 100% Recyclable

HDPE plastic container with UV protection. So it is durable, rigid, and long lasting.
PLA (Corn plastic), biodegradable, earth-friendly, perfect for concrete forms.

How does it work?

The block is a multi-use modular vessel. Fill it. Ship it. Build it.

Benefits of the system:

Preemptive recycling = less waste* Send Supplies/food and Construction Materials in one shipment
Concrete walls encased in PLA or HDPE forms provide thermally insulated
Concrete walls encased in PLA or HDPE forms do not absorb water and allow mold/mildew or rot to happen.
Concrete walls encased in PLA or HDPE forms provide a retrofit/earthquake benefit as the concrete as less tendency to crumble and fall apart.

AquaBlock ships on AB-Pallets pre-designed to be used as sub flooring and roofing for quick construction.
AquaBlock can be covered with Siding, Drywall, or any other desired material for a long lasting structure.
AquaBlock is interchangeable with common CMU (Concrete Masonry Units) cinder blocks as they are the exact same dimensions.
