| Abstract: |
| There is a rise in the plastic waste as it is non-biodegradable which has become a major problem in our cities. Our aim is to utilize 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 absorption problem of sand bricks which causes these materials to be vulnerable in damp conditions. No proper dumping of waste plastic material. Brick kilns contributes 20% of the total world-wide black carbon emissions. |
| Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? |
| The site contractors and manufacturers of 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 build collects raw material from third party recycling sources.
Storage: Unprocessed plastic is stored in an Eco build warehouse until processing.
Production: Plastic is manufactured into bricks 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. |
