From a small factory in Bogotá to a global circular economy model
we’ve spent 15 years proving that plastic waste can build a better world.

Transformation is our thing

Born in Colombia in 2010, Conceptos Plásticos set out with a simple but radical idea: that plastic waste one of the world’s most persistent problems could become the raw material for a better future. What started as a small PVC recycling operation has grown into a global model that connects construction, industrial technology and community empowerment into one coherent, scalable solution.

Business Model

We focus on pragmatic, scalable solutions built around three lines of work. Bricks & Blocks transforms recycled plastic into durable construction systems housing, schools, and sustainable building elements. CPTek® provides the industrial machinery and technology transfer to replicate that transformation anywhere in the world. And theWaY® ensures that every project generates lasting social impact by empowering the communities at the center of the plastic cycle.

We build and constantly expand a participation platform so that governments, NGOs, companies, universities and citizens can join at various levels making the impact scalable and the benefit shared.

Refuse

We work with communities and companies to stop plastic from entering the waste stream in the first place through education, policy support and behavioral change programs.

Reduce

Our production processes are designed to minimize waste at every stage from raw material input to finished product, efficiency is built in.

Reuse

Our construction systems are designed to be disassembled, relocated and reused extending the lifecycle of every piece of recycled plastic we produce.

Recycle

At the core of everything we do: transforming post consumer plastic waste into high quality building materials, machinery and social programs that create real value.
