Gujarat startup makes sustainable and affordable bricks that absorb pollution - Co2ncrete [8F1hTTR7j1B]
India needs millions of affordable homes.But what if the solution was hiding inside industrial waste all along? In Ankleshwar, Gujarat which is one of India’s biggest industrial hubs — Vedant and Aditi grew up seeing factories dump waste into the ground.So instead of ignoring the problem, they turned it into a building material. Their startup, Co2ncrete, is making prefab homes, bricks and blocks using fly ash, silica sludge, construction debris and other industrial waste. And unlike regular concrete that emits CO₂, these blocks actually capture carbon while being made. They’ve already helped build more than 450 homes across Gujarat - proving that waste can become the foundation of affordable housing in India.
