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.
