A conclusion and SDG 11

ECPC, or Eicchornia crassipes Plastic Composite has proven to be feasible as a new middle-market for cheap common building materials in developing countries such as wood and cinder block. Furthermore, ECPC has proven to excel in a lot of aspects such as its resistant to water, flexibility, resistance to impact, and lightness. The only concern observed during the test was its resistance to fire which can be eliminated which can be resolved by using antimony to increase its melting point. However, further testing using machines such as an extruder is required to further study the strength and flexibility of ECPC as a feasible building material. For tests of everyday life, ECPC has proven more than capable of withstanding a normal use scenario while virtually being free of cost and only spending the cost of energy to produce heat for molding the composite. In accordance with the idea of SDG 11 being to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. ECPC would open access to adequate, safe and affordable housing and basic services using building material that is virtually free and easy to make, thus making the upgrade of slum areas more feasible, cheap, and easy. It would also serve as a new way to manage waste by changing the waste into something of value. Moreover, it would help greatly in building sustainable and resilient buildings utilizing local materials within slum areas. And it would at the same time help mitigate the risk in water-based disasters such as a flood due to its sheer resistance to water.

ECPC, Easy Peasy ;)
