Specializing in the supply of street furniture made from 100% recycled plastic, the Reunion company Empreinte Urbaine wants to go further with its ValoPlastic project. Thanks to an innovative process, which is the subject of a patent application, it offers to transform plastic waste of all kinds, and without prior sorting, in a binder used in the composition of concrete, to completely or partially replace cement or make lighter concrete, more insulating and more resistant. Plastic waste could also be transformed into various plates, materials or wools with insulating properties to contribute to the thermal comfort of the home.
Urban Footprint has, for that, needed to raise funds and presented ValoPlastic to the social and solidarity entrepreneurship competition organized by La Fabrique Aviva, endowed with one million euros each year. Imminent results !
