Students have been recycling paper into paper bricks. Newspaper and shredded paper are soaked for up to 2 weeks. This is then placed in an iron mould and the water is squeezed out of it. Then the bricks are left to dry. A single brick will burn for up to 2 hours and are strong enough to use for building.

Students use iron moulds to squeeze the water out of the paper bricks.
