Solid waste especially single used plastic waste is a major issue for metropolitan cities around the world. As per estimated almost 70% of plastic waste goes to landfill sites and oceans and is not recycled in Pakistan. Cash the trash presents the idea of eco-bricks furniture. We have prepared over 200 eco-bricks (pet bottles densely packed with single used plastic wrappers and poly bags). From these bricks, we have prepared tables, chairs, shelves, and storage boxes. These are low-cost yet durable. The project has been done in university by engaging students and utilizing the plastic waste generated at university on daily basis. Cash the trash suggests the establishment of recycling labs in educational institutions for this purpose.

The Paris climate agreement has motivated global industries to shift towards sustainable alternatives. However, the construction industry lags in this endeavor. It uses cement and bricks that produce large amounts of co2 emissions and hence, causes global warming. Moreover, our brick industry not only destroys our climate by producing nearly half of our total co2 emissions but also enslaves more than 5 million bonded laborers including young children and women. These laborers girls undergo forced marriages, over torture, and rapes. Enslaving such a large part of our own population hardly sounds like a successful recipe for a country to develop. Ecostabilizer aims to transform this energy-hogging and ruthless construction industry into a sustainable and human-friendly industry. We do this by producing self-healing construction blocks with zero carbon footprint that will replace conventional construction materials like bricks and cement.
