We turn plastic waste into sustainable building materials
Plástico Fantástico develops principles of circular economy in the construction industry of Mozambique 🇲🇿
Plástico Fantástico has set up a plastic recycling workshop in Maputo and is currently developing beams made of recycled plastic for low-cost construction of roof structures. Additional components will be developed in the future.
What we do:
1
Collect and sort plastic waste
2
Shred the collected plastic waste
3
Extrude beams out of the shredded plastic
4
Use plastic beams in construction
Two birds one stone:
Problem 1
Timber rafters rot quickly
Problem 2
Plastic waste in the environment
Our Solution
Plastic beams made out of plastic waste
