Kunjpreet Arora - Wricks
Project description
Angirus converts unmanaged construction and plastic waste into high-quality, carbon-negative bricks (Wricks®) through a circular industrial process, replacing conventional clay and concrete bricks.
The beVisioneers journey
Kunjpreet first focused on refining the chemical composition to meet industrial standards and establishing a waste collection network. They have achieved significant milestones across impact, product validation, and market adoption. They manufactured and deployed 100,566 Wricks, resulting in the recycling of 301.7 tonnes of waste (75.4 tonnes plastic and 226.3 tonnes construction waste). This contributed to reducing 54.3 tCO₂e emissions, calculated at 0.54 kg CO₂e per unit.
