In this week’s edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to Brett Jordaan, the CEO of the Centre for Regenerative Design and Collaboration, both Global and South Africa, about its pilot plant in Cape Town that has been making a concrete modifier from plastic waste. The product replaces the sand and stone that would normally be in a concrete mix, together with cement and water. The CRDC’s trademarked RESIN8 recently won the Dow Business Impact Fund prize worth R1.5 million in recognition of the positive impact it will have on both people and the planet. It plans to use the money to scale up its production by opening a permanent plant in Cape Town later this year.
