30 Jul 2019 --- The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), in partnership with Colombian social enterprise Conceptos Plasticos, has broken ground on a “first-of-its-kind” factory that will convert plastic waste collected in and around Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, into modular plastic bricks for sustainable building material. The easily assembled, durable and low-cost bricks will be used in building much needed classrooms in the West African country.
