Operation 414 - Plastic bricks for road construction

Operation 414 produces bricks for road construction. The bricks are produced from a combination of sharp sand, natural sand, jointing sand, and PET plastics. The components of bricks were formulated after a number of experiments. The bricks are formed in a custom-designed machine, called the 414 Brickifier, which is made to form up to 200 bricks per hour. Operation 414 is a student-led project birthed as a solution for untarred pathways in communities in Rwanda. The CEO intends to rally community support to install bricks on identified pathways. They would partner with government to implement this project.
