We build homes on Lombok, Indonesia with Blocks made from recycled plastic waste.
Block Homes
Why Build Block Homes?
Because it cleans plastic pollution and provides a quality living environment for families.
The 2018 earthquake that devastated Lombok, Indonesia caused massive damage to homes and public infrastructure. Nearly three years later, many families are still living in temporary shelters. Indonesia is the second largest contributor to plastic pollution in the world, producing around 24,500 tons of plastic waste per day. Every house we build removes 1-2 tons of plastic waste from the environment and provides a safe and earthquake-resistant living environment for families who lost their homes due to the 2018 earthquake in Lombok.
