Ramtsilo (Accelerator)

Company Description: Ramtsilo Manufacturing and Construction is the home of the plastic brick. We provide a sustainable and innovative solution to South Africa’s plastic pollution pandemic by using all types of plastic, including non-recyclable plastic, to make bricks. Our recycled plastic bricks look just like cement bricks, but they’re better in all respects. They use less water to manufacture, have a higher compressive strength, are less porous and last longer than conventional bricks. They are also fire-retardant, and are provide greater insulation and energy efficiency. At Ramtsilo, we’re passionate about recycling, reducing waste and creating a greener environment, whilst generating sustainable incomes through waste recycling. We work closely with waste pickers and buy-back centres to source plastic. Through these collection efforts, they not only save municipalities millions of Rands, but are able to earn incomes that support their families. Ramtsilo provides the following services: • Manufacturing of plastic bricks • Recycling • Waste management • Construction: general building, civil engineering and electrical engineering
