Ecobuild is rising without heat

So, a quality brick without fire? It’s possible! Ecobuild is on its way to producing a new brick for Malawi, a country that uses 1.7 billion brick every year, that doesn’t require firing or cement.  Additionally, this method is able to put waste from broken and misshapen bricks that was previously thrown away, back into the supply stream for new bricks. Construction materials are in high demand in Malawi and Ecobuild has found a way to meet this demand with a drastic reduction in deforestation and emissions while remaining price competitive.
