Recycled plastic building bricks
The start-up
Conceptos Plasticos has invented a process to recycle plastic waste into a building material, in the form of reusable bricks. This process enables impoverished people to build homes, medical centres and schools in partnership with public authorities, NGOs and businesses. The start-up is seeking to expand in Africa starting in the course of 2019.
