Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

PLASTONE





I read with great interest news about your innovation of “ Plastic Tiles “ ( made from old plastic scrap ) , in yesterday’s Mumbai Mirror

Congratulations !

Your innovation has the potential to solve twin problems , viz : Plastic scrap pollution and poor road surfaces

At one place , report reads : “ Plastone tiles are costlier than ordinary tiles “ ( concrete paver blocks ? )

This ( cost ) could prove a deterrent to a wide adoption of Plastone

I am sure, you must be working on reducing the cost ( much below the cost of paver blocks )

And , as far as its “ non-road “ usage ( eg : walls for those 10 lakh toilets ) is concerned, you may want to explore some method to make these “ light weight “ and “ inter-lockable

Eg : Foam concrete ( on which , I worked at the University of Kansas , in 1957 , under Prof Crosier )


Wishing you all success

With regards,
