Nzambi Matee, a Kenyan entrepreneur, started ‘Gjenge Makers’, a company that recycles plastic waste into eco-friendly bricks.
These bricks are not only stronger and more durable than traditional concrete, but they also offer an innovative solution to both plastic pollution and construction needs.
Matee’s invention addresses the growing problem of plastic waste while providing an affordable, sustainable building material.
Made from a combination of plastic waste and sand, these bricks have been praised for their impressive strength, with some tests showing they surpass concrete in durability.
This innovation has drawn attention for its potential to benefit both the environment and the construction industry.
