The Return Brick is the little machine that could, trolling old torn down building sites for rubble to create new building bricks. The Return Brick recycling robot would be able to keep usable building materials out of landfills to maximize the reusing process.
The bricks are actually created inside the Return Brick machine, crushing and cementing the rubble into usable solid bricks. The bricks actually look a bit like LEGO pieces, which stack together through the pegs and the holes within themselves. The Return Brick machine is a recycler's dream!
