The increasing demand for housing is a global problem. One South African company has this issue by designing a new construction material which meets the expectations of the poorer members of society - it’s cheap but more importantly, also safe. The homes are made from a removable, reusable, recyclable plastic in the shape of a house, which can be filled with cement when it’s in place to make it stronger. It is likely to completely change the nature of areas. It has few with other homes currently available. The whole house takes just one day to build and can be put up by private individuals buying the home, as no skills are required. This dramatically cuts the main cost of homes - labour fees. These homes will improve the quality of life for thousands of families living in poverty and are expected to play a leading role in cities in the future.
