Recycled Walkways

Nzambi Matee is a materials engineer in Kenya. She designed machines that recycle plastic, into bricks. Nzambi uses the plastic waste that can’t be recycled into new products, and mixes it with sand. The materials are heated and compressed into bricks, which are about 5 times stronger than concrete bricks. Matee’s factory can produce 1500 bricks-per-day.
