Hacin - turning plastic waste into self-healing building materials

Author: Nguyen Tu Vuong

HACIN is an innovative solution aimed at converting plastic waste into self-healing building materials. The process involves collecting plastic waste, processing it to create high-density polymers, and combining it with other materials such as bitumen, stone, and sand to form new building materials. This material has the ability to self-repair when damaged by heat.

The solution received the Outstanding Creative Idea award at the Plastic Circular Innovation Solutions 2024.
