Blocks and pavers
Interlocking blocks · paversMade with recycled content for driveways, walkways and boundary walls first, then structures once tested. Simple to make, simple to lay, and the first products we plan to sell.
Register interestAnother way to build.
Adabloc turns local waste into blocks, pavers and wall panels, then puts the same parts together as homes that grow with the family.
Illustrative. Design intent, still to be tested.

01 · Waste
It starts as waste.
Plastics, packaging and industrial by-products, sorted and tested so every batch behaves the same way.
02 · Material
Engineered into material.
Each waste stream is processed into a consistent mix, then pressed into a block. Recipes are in development now.
03 · Components
Made into components.
Blocks and pavers come first. Builders can use them long before a full house system is approved.
04 · Core 40
Put together as a home.
A permanent 40 m² starter home, assembled from the same blocks and wall panels.
05 · + Bedroom
Then it grows.
The structure and services are planned for the next room before the first one is finished.
06 · + Studio
Homes that grow with you.
Add a studio or workspace with its own entrance, without breaking down load-bearing walls.

We start with the parts.
Builders can use our components long before a full house system is approved. These are the first four things we're developing, and where each one stands today.
Wall panels
Walls · building envelopeLightweight panels designed for fast, repeatable assembly. They're the core of our homes, and we'll sell them on their own too.

Core 40 is a permanent home from day one. Add a bedroom, then a studio or workspace, as the family and its income grow.
Short of homes. Buried in waste.
Two of South Africa's biggest problems, and nothing yet that connects them.

Six months of testing before we sell anything. This is the plan we're working to, and we'll publish results as they come in.
Nothing we make is certified yet. Every performance figure on this site is a target until independent tests say otherwise.
Who's building it.
