Recycled bricks from industrial plastic waste for the sustainable construction industry
Angirus is a startup that aims to help government authorities and organizations around the world upcycle non-recyclable materials. The company produces functional, eco-friendly building material out of waste material.
The company addresses the issue of solid waste management and brick kiln pollution by developing products such as bricks and paver blocks using Angirus green waste management technology. They provide a sustainable and cleaner alternative to the construction industry while contributing towards building a greener planet.
Increasing industrial waste and air pollution caused by the brick industry led to the innovation of the company's recycled brick solution called Wricks. The use of industrial waste in brick manufacturing prevents tons of waste from going into landfills and waterways, thus preventing soil and water contamination.
Wricks are damp-proof and lightweight, making them a sustainable and ideal alternative to conventional bricks. Composed of 20% plastic waste, these bricks are stronger and do not require soaking before claying.
Angirus has partnered with Udaipur Municipal Corporation in Rajasthan, India to operate their construction and demolition plant with 50 tons per day capacity. The company has also partnered with Larsen & Toubro, an Indian engineering and construction company for the Udaipur Smart City project.

Hi, would be good if you can let me know what the level of quality of your plastic component as raw material you require and purchase.
Hello MP de Beer, thanks for asking.
We utilize post consumer plastic waste most of them are Multi-layer plastic packages, polyethylene and mixed plastic waste.
Our focus area is on non-recyclable plastics, low value plastics (LDPE, MLP, PP, PS) and mixture of these plastics collected from municipal facility.
Hi, can these eco-bricks be used for parking lots and driveways? Are they strong enough to withstand high traffic volumes the weights of vehicles?
Hello Damian Wentzel , we have designed paver blocks suitable for parking lots.
For high traffic areas we are testing.
Hello Lokesh Puri Goswami,
You and Kunjpreet Arora have developed a fantastic product!
How do these Wricks perform in a fire - house fire? do they stand up as well as conventional bricks? Is there an increase in emissions from the burning plastic?
Thanks

Are these bricks proved structurally strong. When these bricks are fixed with cement, is this joint permanent like conventional bricks? Also are these stable at higher temperatures than room temperature?
