PLAEX Building Systems™ offers unique construction solutions through a composite material called PLAEX-crete™, made from over 90% recycled waste. The company then uses this material to manufacture modular construction blocks that don't require cutting or mortar; this saves builders time and labor costs. PLAEX™ produces durable and fully interlocking building systems with a patent-pending process that uses a mix of difficult-to-recycle materials, including agricultural, marine, and industrial plastic waste and aggregate waste from the construction industry.
