- Company Description
- Ecomak Recyclers was founded in mid-2020 as a leader in recovering and reuse of recyclable waste in Kyaka II refugee settlement, Uganda. Our objectives are to improve waste management across the marginalized communities of Uganda, encourage local businesses to a more sustainable lifestyle, and promote a circular economy. As of to-date we collect and recycle over 50 tons of waste per month and we are now taking a step forward.
Advantages of Using Our Plastic Bricks (Manufactured from Waste Plastics)
Durability: They replicate concrete and clay equivalents but outlast them in the application. Our ecobricks have a life expectancy of over 50 years, with minimal degradation.
Cost effective: Our ecobricks are 42% cheaper than the conventional bricks and in terms of the "life cost", our ecobricks are significantly cost saving due to reduced maintenance and replacement requirements.
Zero breakages: Our ecobricks do not break once used and this implies there are no damages while using our products. You buy 1000 and use 1000.
Termite Resistant: They cannot rot, become dump and termites cannot feed on them.
Easy to work with: Traditional construction-working tools such as hammers and nails can be used. The products can be cut, drilled as easily as conventional bricks
