They set up a factory in Abidjan, and secured the government’s commitment to build over 500 classrooms using these recycled materials. Also working on the project was Penda Marre, Kidus’s future co-founder, who had left her successful construction company in Texas to help support UNICEF’s plastic-to-schools project in Côte d’Ivoire.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:23.4pt;margin-left:0cm;line-height:105%;background:white;box-sizing: border-box;font-size:0.975rem'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>However, from the moment the project took off, Kidus wondered how this technology could scale beyond Côte d’Ivoire and classrooms. He concluded that only a profit-driven company could achieve this. While several entities in Africa – including the one that UNICEF supported in Côte d’Ivoire – transformed plastic to building materials, none had managed to scale significantly. Some operated as non-profit organisations relying on donor grants, while others focused on exporting to regions like Europe, rendering the product too costly for African markets. Many set their prices higher than conventional building materials.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:23.4pt;margin-left:0cm;line-height:105%;background:white;box-sizing: border-box;font-size:0.975rem'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>It was this realisation that motivated Kidus and Penda to strike out on their own.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center;background:white'><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-ZW'><img border=0 width=800 height=601 id="Picture_x0020_3" src="cid:image004.jpg@01D9B932.FFF15650" alt="The classroom in Abidjan, built from recycled plastic bricks, which inspired the founding of Kubik."></span><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=wp-caption-text style='margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:105%;background:white'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>The classroom in Abidjan, built from recycled plastic bricks, which inspired the founding of Kubik.<o:p></o:p></span></p><h4 style='mso-margin-top-alt:18.7pt;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:2.5pt;margin-left:0cm;background:white;box-sizing: border-box;line-height:initial;font-size:1.25rem;-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased'><b><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black'>Targeting real estate developers</span></b><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></h4><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:23.4pt;margin-left:0cm;line-height:105%;background:white;box-sizing: border-box;font-size:0.975rem'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>Kubik primarily caters to real estate developers. According to Kidus, convincing builders to adopt this nascent building material hinges on competitive pricing, quick construction times, and structural integrity. Developers are also looking for a product that allows them to finish walls, in terms of painting and plastering, according to their own preferences. Kidus states, “They are not looking for fancy products, they’re actually looking for super boring products.” He says the fact that the bricks are made from recycled plastics, and has a significantly lower carbon footprint than traditional materials, is usually the last detail shared with potential buyers.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:23.4pt;margin-left:0cm;line-height:105%;background:white;box-sizing: border-box;font-size:0.975rem'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>Kidus reveals, “We spent the majority of our time really thinking through a business model that can allow the price of our product to be very competitive compared to cement [and] at the same time caters to real estate developers’ needs.” He says Kubik’s building materials sell for over 40% less than traditional cement bricks.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:23.4pt;margin-left:0cm;line-height:105%;background:white;box-sizing: border-box;font-size:0.975rem'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>There’s an immense housing deficit in Africa, amounting to over 100 million units.
