A partnership between Hong Kong real estate developer Sino Group and local sustainability-focused startup EcoBricks upcycled over 5,400 kg of plastic waste into construction bricks at the city’s Gold Coast in the Tuen Mun district.

The partnership converts upcycled plastic into “green concrete” bricks that can be used in a range of industry-standard construction projects thanks to proprietary low-energy 100% cold production process that involves no heating or melting of waste plastics, thus bypassing harmful emissions and pollutants.  

Over 15,000 EcoBricks were used at the Gold Coast Piazza in Tuen Mun to pave the Promenade and line the Leaf Path. The bricks were made from the plastic from over 560 old washing machines, equal to over 5,400 kg of plastic waste.
