OUR TECHNOLOGY

Sustainability

  • In over 12 years of 80% of 100 000 waste plastic that has been pilling in tye landfill, that would take approximately +/- 10 years to deplete on the reserve of plastic if producing 500 000 of bricks a month.
  • Nomsa plastic bricks plans on going into Geopolymers which are inorganic ceramic and alumino-silicate forming long range covalented bonded building material .
  • We will be employing vulnerable community members to pick plastic and involved in the production hence creating employment
