Homes Built from 100% Recyclable Materials

It’s her farmhouse in Nagpur being shipped from the assembly site to the final location. And I must admit it’s a sight to behold. While the farmhouse is one example of such a project built using the blocks, a series of 10 toilets in Punjab has also been constructed with them. The first of these was at the Amritsar international airport; Shridhar says the idea was sparked when a student, Ruhani Verma, noticed that the public parking space did not have public utilities and started a movement to have these built. “That’s when we got together and proposed the idea of a toilet that would be 100 percent green,” Shridhar shares. 

As Ruhani had shared at the time, “I stay in a boarding school, and we [students] order a lot of parcels from e-commerce sites. So there’s a lot of plastic waste that is generated right here. I spoke to the bhaiyas(sanitation workers) and found a way to segregate the plastic waste and send it to the R+D Studio team’s work site, where the bricks were being manufactured.”
