Congratulations to Kenneth A. Quesada Garro and GLOBALVIA for paving the way to Zero Plastic Waste asphalt in Costa Rica 👏 👀 "The plastics collected are transformed into RESIN8, a product developed by PEDREGAL S.A. CR together with CRDC GLOBAL. This product is then dosed as another aggregate in the asphalt mixture, thus guaranteeing its complete integration into it. The design of this mixture is also suitable for roads with high heavy traffic, which is a guarantee for the greatest durability of the road. 🛣 #sustainability #zerowaste #circularity #asphalt #innovation #stopplasticpollution #endplasticwaste #costarica #puravida

Watch the Bag That Builds initiative video below of the World Rugby U20 Championship teams collaborating in turning plastic waste into RESIN8 and helping Build A Stronger South Africa Together. What a remarkable collaboration to take all the plastic waste from Springboks vs Wales, World Cup Sevens and World Rugby U20 Championship matches as well as plastic waste produced at the hotels that housed players and officials around Cape Town and regenerate that plastic waste into our Eco-Aggregate RESIN8. The RESIN8 was then used in the all types of concrete products, including bricks, blocks pavers, ready mix, pipes, kerbs and channels and more in partnership with concrete manufacturers. “In total, when you add up all the tournaments, we’ve collected almost nine tonnes of plastic waste and put it to use,” explained Abraham Avenant, CEO of CRDC South Africa . “That has translated into 85,000 bricks turned into 24 units built in Khayelitsha, Greenville and Eerste Rivier – some of the most under-resourced and disadvantaged areas around Cape Town.” South African Rugby Union (SA Rugby) City of Cape Town CRDC GLOBAL International Olympic Committee – IOC World Rugby Alliance to End Plastic Waste Donald Thomson Abraham Avenant George van der Schyff Andre Jameson THIRSTI Water Jean De Villiers Heyneke Meyer #INNOVATION #RESIN8 #SPORT4CHANGE #REGENERATION #STRONGERTOGETHER #TheBagThatBuilds #RESIN8 #COLLABORATION

Future stars of rugby team up for the planet. The CRDC South Africa team is super proud to have initiated our Bag That Builds programme in partnership with South African Rugby Union (SA Rugby) over the last two years.

At #Plasys24 we shared how producing RESIN8™ green building materials from #plasticwaste unlocks powerful market levers for sustainable plastic recovery and reuse at scale. Our invited paper – “The REAP (Recover-Enrich-Appreciate-Prosper) approach to a regenerative economy: Developing a commercially viable "end of life" solution to solve our plastic waste crisis” – explored how: 📍  ⁠The linear economy has led to severe environmental challenges, particularly #plasticpollution. 📍  ⁠Converting plastic waste into valuable #zerowaste construction materials and promoting sustainability is a regenerative #circulareconomy solution that is economically self-sustaining. 📍 Already in regions like Costa Rica, South Africa, and the United States, we are recovering significant plastic waste and transforming it into construction materials at an industrial scale. 📍 Verified plastic credits are an important additional tool to accelerate plastic recovery, particularly in developing markets. Big thanks to our partners Gabriel Ruske Freitas, MSc of EcoCircle and Giancarlo Marini of EcoCircle and CRDC España for preparing and sharing the good news with this distinguished community of scientists, engineers, and policy makers in Rhodes. #sustainability #plasticwaste #wastetovalue #concrete #concreteconstruction #sustainableconstruction #greenbuilding #builtenvironment #netzero #zerowaste #RESIN8

I enjoyed being part of this Nasdaq TRADE TALKS conversation about innovative #climatetech solutions for the built environment.    I joined host Jill Malandrino, Panama's Minister of Environment, Juan Carlos Navarro, and Onx Homes CEO, Ash Bhardwaj, on a live panel discussion where we covered:    🌪️ How climate extremes like hurricanes, wildfires, and earthquakes drive demand for climate technologies.       👷🏾♂️ Why home builders are embracing Green Concrete to make homes safer, stronger, and more resilient to climate extremes.   🚀 Why repurposing plastic waste to improve concrete and lower its carbon footprint is a market-based solution that is gaining traction and ready to scale up globally.     Everyone working on #climatesolutions like #lowcarbonconcrete knows that even the best solutions take time to implement and gain traction. To make that transition a reality, we need focus and commitment at every level of society.    ➡️ We cannot be complacent.    View our full conversation linked below in comments.    🌎 🌍🌏 #climatechange #sustainability #plasticwaste #globalwarming #builtenvironment #climateadaptation #climatechange #circulareconomy   

🌍 Zero Waste Technologies (ZWT) is proud to lead the way in sustainable innovation at the V&A Waterfront! 🚧♻️ ZWT was appointed by V&A Waterfront and Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator to explore the use of waste products in construction for the new temporary home of the Oranjezicht City Farm Market. This groundbreaking initiative incorporates RESIN8, a revolutionary building aggregate made from waste plastic, into the concrete slab—making it the first of its kind at the V&A Waterfront! By collaborating with CRDC SOUTH AFRICA, Omega Concrete, and Framecore (Pty) Ltd, 2.4 tons of waste plastic was integrated into the concrete, diverting the equivalent of 1.2 million chip packets from landfill! 🌿 The result? 💪 A concrete slab with 45MPa strength, exceeding the required standard, demonstrating that sustainable materials can meet the highest structural requirements. At ZWT, we believe in transforming waste into valuable resources and are committed to advancing the circular economy. This project not only showcases how innovative materials can support greener cities and sustainable communities, but it also highlights our role as leaders in the industry. Follow us to see how Zero Waste Technologies is redefining the future of waste solutions and construction.🌱🏗️ #ZeroWasteTechnologies #SustainableInnovation #CircularEconomy #WasteToResource #EcoFriendlyConstruction #RESIN8 #PlasticRecycling #SustainableDevelopment #BuildingTheFuture #GreenerCities
