Miniwiz Sustainable Energy Development


Based in Taiwan, Miniwiz Sustainable Energy Development makes building materials from re-engineered rubbish.  One product, Polli-Brick, is a block resembling a square bottle made from recycled PET plastic, which is widely used to make food and drink containers.  Polli-brick can lock together without adhesive to form structures such as walls.  These are strong enough to withstand a hurricane.  The material greatly reduces the carbon footprint of a building and are about a quarter of the price of traditional building materials.  They are also translucent and can have LED lighting incorporated in them.
