This is a novel initiative as a solidarity project. Its raw material, bricks made from recycled plastic. The purpose of this project is to transform plastic and rubber waste into an alternative construction system for temporary and permanent housing and other buildings.

This system, on the one hand, reduces plastic reaching landfills, which reduces water and energy consumption, as well as reducing CO2 emissions through the use of these recycled materials.
