| Abstract: | |
| Industrial and agricultural wastes, such as carpet waste, flax, and fiber glass, have been added to concrete for the purpose to lessen the environmental impact and increase the strength of concrete. | |
| What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ? | |
| There is no safe disposal of the waste materials in Pakistan and there have been no significant initiatives taken in Pakistan to prevent environmental damage. | |
| Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? | |
| Pakistan urgently need various climate change-related initiatives. If adopted, increasing concrete strength in an environmentally responsible manner will help not only the people of Pakistan but also the country's building sector. | |
| How will the solution works | |
| Waste materials being thrown in landfills will be collected and transported to purpose-built warehouse. They will be treated to reduce the impact on the environment. They will then be transported to concrete batching plants and construction sites where they will be added to concrete. | |
| Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different | |
| The solution to climate change is unique in such a way that we will be lowering the environmental impact of waste materials while also using that waste material to raise the strength of concrete. | |
