Eco Shelter provides a portable housing solution constructed from recycled plastic. This sustainable approach not only reduces plastic pollution but also empowers climate-vulnerable communities with a versatile housing option. Compared to traditional materials, Eco Shelter homes are portable, cost-effective, and resilient.
Vulnerable communities around the world face housing insecurity due to recurring climate-related disasters and lack access to climate-resilient, affordable shelter solutions.
Eco Shelter offers a groundbreaking solution to address two pressing issues in Bangladesh. Firstly, it tackles the problem of frequent displacement caused by natural disasters, which affects around 7 million people annually (IPCC,WHO) . Traditional housing materials like iron sheets and bamboo make relocation costly and damage prone. Secondly, it addresses the significant environmental challenge of plastic waste. Bangladesh generates 0.8 million tons of plastic waste annually, with only 38% being recycled, and a large portion returning to the environment within six months (World Bank, UNDP). Additionally, Eco Shelter's impact extends globally. Beyond housing, our innovation can create temporary hospitals, shelter centers, and mother feeding zones. It can also serve refugees in need of temporary settlements in host countries, offering a worldwide solution to diverse challenges
