Not really just plastic; also pigmnets to colour the plastic. I work in the
printing ink industrie, and many of the pigments we use, are also used for
plastic. The price of pigments are anything from 3 USD /kg and uppwoards. The

I don't know the percentage of pigments in the plastic, but I would anyway
expect the cost of pigments effect the price of the finnished bricks.
