A lady, Nzambi Matee, has gained massive social media attention with her skill in converting wastes into building blocks.

The woman’s initiative is helping Kenya deal with its enormous plastic wastes. In a CBS video interview reshared on Instagram, the 29-year-old material scientist revealed that she always gets excited whenever she sees wastes.

How it is done

Showing off how she does everything, the lady held out smithereens of plastics in one of her hands, revealing that she mixes them with sand.

According to Matee, during the mixture, the plastics become the binder, holding the sand in place. The mixture is then fed into a machine that grinds everything to look like water-mixed cement, UN reports.

They are strong

The mixture is poured into moulding boxes and cast into small bricks (blocks). What makes her kind of bricks different from others is that they are hard to break.

Matee smashed it on the floor in the video to show that it can withstand pressure.
