EcoBricks
Transforming Plastic Waste into
Sustainable Building Blocks
Overview
EcoBricks is reshaping Pakistan’s construction industry—literally. This social enterprise transforms plastic waste into durable, eco-friendly bricks, reducing plastic pollution while replacing carbon-heavy clay bricks.
What They Offer:
- Plastic-Sand Bricks: Made from a 70:30 mix of plastic waste and sand, these bricks are lightweight, strong, and affordable.
- Zero-Fire Manufacturing: Unlike traditional bricks, EcoBricks are not kiln-fired, which slashes carbon emissions and coal usage.
- Scalable Impact: Designed for everything from eco-homes to public spaces, each brick contributes to a cleaner, greener community.
Why It’s Green:
EcoBricks solves two problems at once—plastic pollution and dirty construction practices—by promoting circular reuse and low-emission alternatives to brick making.
Impact
EcoBricks is revolutionizing construction by offering a solution that addresses pollution on multiple fronts. Each brick diverts 0.5 kg of plastic waste from landfills and oceans, while also mitigating the environmental impact of traditional clay brick production. With plans for growth, EcoBricks aims to produce 400,000 bricks annually, repurposing 200,000 kg of plastic waste.
Future Goals
EcoBricks plans to scale production through improved machinery, enhance brick durability, and expand into new markets. By forming partnerships with governments, NGOs, and private sectors, EcoBricks envisions a future where eco-friendly bricks are the standard, driving sustainable infrastructure and environmental preservation across Pakistan.
