The University of Basrah announced that it had succeeded in reaching a modern scientific method for constructing low-cost housing units from waste of plastic and metal which collected from the rubbish from the colleges, noting that the method aims to rid the environment of waste pollution and turn it into friendly and harmless materials.
The Polymer Research Center at the University of Basrah has come up with a modern scientific method for constructing low-cost housing units from waste."
The statement explained that "the method includes converting waste into environmentally friendly materials that are used in the manufacture of parts used in the construction of the low-cost device."
The director of the Polymer Research Center, Muhammad Ali Jaber, said, "The university provided the center with full support by developing a scientific plan for the University of Basrah to be one of the productive universities."Jaber indicated that "the housing unit consists of two rooms and its annexes, with an area of 56 square meters, and it is characterized as moisture-proof, thermally insulating and fire-resistant."
And he indicated that "the unit, whose costs amounted to 8 million dinars, will reduce its prices if it is produced in a larger number."
