| Abstract: |
| There is a rise in the plastic waste as plastic is non-biodegradable which has become a major problem in cities. Our aim is to utilize the plastic and burnt waste from different areas to make Plastic bricks. The plastic bricks are lighter, stronger, and cheaper than their concrete counterparts. The concrete block and brick manufacturing market size is expected CAGR of 5.7% from 2021 to 2030.
|
| What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ? |
| Hazardous effects of plastic waste disposal to seas and soil.Water absorbing problem of sand bricks which causes these materials to be vulnerable in damp conditions.Brick kilns are recognized as one of the largest stationary sources of black carbon. No proper dumping of waste plastic material.
|
| Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? |
| The site contractor needs it, to manufacture plastic-sand bricks to reduce the intensity of plastic and its disposal problem by reusing discarded plastic waste. Solves the problem of proper utilization of plastic waste matter. |
| How will the solution works |
| Sourcing: Eco belt collects rope material from third party cycling sources.
Storage: Unprocessed plastic is stored in an eco will wear house until processed.
Production: Plastic is manufactured into brakes in house on Eco build machinery.
Assembly: Finished bricks are transported to project sides. |
| Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different |
| This product is not yet introduced in Pakistan's market. Hence, this will be the first one to the market.
The global competitors are Eco Build, and Ramtsilo Manufacturing. |
