Big News from Stellenbosch University! Their latest study in the "Construction and Building Materials" journal illuminates the remarkable advantages of RESIN8 in 3D Printed Concrete. Imagine enhanced bond strength between layers, all while incorporating recycled materials and championing sustainable practices. It's about building a future where we repurpose waste plastics and push for eco-friendly construction.

🌍 Este miércoles 17 de Mayo, en el Día del Reciclaje, queremos recordarte la importancia de enviar los residuos de reciclaje por el camino correcto. En CRDC-PEDREGAL, apostamos por la economía circular y creemos que cada plástico que puede reciclarse debería tener la oportunidad de ser transformado una y otra vez.

♻️ No dejes que los plásticos reciclables se pierdan en el camino equivocado. Juntos, podemos marcar la diferencia al optar por la gestión eficiente de residuos. Enviemos esos materiales a los centros de reciclaje para aprovechar su potencial máximo y cerrar el ciclo de la economía circular.

¡Únete a nuestro movimiento por una gestión eficiente de residuos y un planeta más sostenible!

Gracias a la barda recuperadora de plástico que se instaló en el río Virilla, dentro del proyecto Paisajes sin Plástico, se ha recolectado 136 kg de plástico en poco más de un mes. Y eso que aún estamos en verano, sabemos que en invierno es cuando aumenta la cantidad de plástico en el río. Esta es una gran noticia para el medio ambiente y para el país.

💙Sea Point Litter nets update💙

Through the support of and we’re adamant on keeping litter off our Sea Point beaches.

Not only are we clearing and maintaining the nets, but also cleaning the beaches between the nets. We’ve currently collected 130 bags of waste from our beaches through this project.

May such initiatives continue to not only keep our environment pristine, but change mindsets about playing a part in ensuring we take good care of our communities through cleanups, and recycling 🌍 ♲💧 🚮

About CRDC

“A lot of times the solutions to a problem are in clear sight; the opportunity is in making the decision to act.”

The Center for Regenerative Design and Collaboration (CRDC) is a Costa Rican founded company that understands a proactive, collaborative and integrated approach must be taken in order to harmonise a growing population’s needs with those of the environment.

It is important that we rethink our past consumption habits and look to regenerative solutions that include the management and recovery of plastic waste. It is an unrecognised resource and part of growing a Regenerative Economy.

CRDC comprises a diverse, multidisciplinary group of world-class associates – from experts in the packaging, concrete and construction industries to conservationists, award-winning designers, and responsible investment specialists – working together to create products, industrial processes and economic models that achieve economic, social and environmental symbiosis. Balancing the needs of the environment, community and industry therefore forms the basis of all product design.

Over the last decade, CRDC has developed a series of design protocols and consumer products that are Zero Waste and regenerative in purpose and nature. Consequently, the company was a Peoples’ Choice nominee at the 2016 World Economic Forum’s Circularity Awards.

CRDC uses an unique business model: REAP, or Recover – Enrich – Appreciate – Prosper. REAP is a biomimicry model that looks to create interrelationships between diverse industries where the waste stream of one becomes the value stream for the next, where the sum of the output is greater than the sum of all the inputs, and finally where consumption becomes regenerative.

CRDC is currently collaborating globally with various industrial sectors and public entities, including some of the world's biggest brands to develop commercially viable "end of life" solutions to resolve our unmanaged plastic contamination problem.

CRDC recognizes potential synergies between our global Tragic Plastic dilemma and achieving resource efficiency in construction. Its innovative solution converts and permanently fixes plastic waste within new construction materials, which both eliminates the associated environmental impacts of plastic waste and creates a second use value stream for it.

CRDC in collaboration with PEDREGAL, a South American regional leader in the construction materials industry, has successfully created a lightweight, high-quality mixed polymer concrete aggregate or PRA that utilises "dirty" or unmanaged plastic from the waste stream. This can be recovered from industrial, commercial, domestic and environmental sources.

The process effectively sequesters the carbon in the plastic waste within the cement mix, which can then be used in a multitude of concrete products including, blocks, pipes, kerb stones, ready mix and pavers.
