Turning Trash into a Home for the Future In Mexico, where plastic waste has become a major concern, a social enterprise called EcoDom is tackling two pressing issues: pollution and affordable housing.
The company has developed a process to turn discarded plastic bottles and old toys into strong building materials, providing low income families with better homes while keeping waste out of local dumps.
EcoDom's founder, Carlos Daniel González, grew up in Puebla, where he witnessed the devastating effects of unmanaged waste on communities.
