Entrepreneur, Batshani Nthoi has found a niche in recycling plastic waste into bricks, which are stronger than concrete.

Trading as In-Situ Civil Works, the company began in 2018 after Nthoi identified the gap in the market while he was working as a civil engineer. “I was not fulfilled to be just an employee, so I wanted to have an impact to the next generation by creating something friendly to the environment whilst creating employment in the process,” he said.
