Fuse Caribbean

Recently we teamed up with the ‘Great Plastic Bake Off’ a Dutch green tech company.

Together we are tackling the problem of plastic waste on the islands of Bonaire and Curaçao.


Transforming Locally Sourced Plastic Waste

Most waste on the islands is dumped on landfills that pose a threat to the environment and quality of life. There is also a need for locally produced building materials, so people living on the islands are not dependent anymore on expensive import.

That is why our solution is a good match: with our FUSE Kitchen on site, we transform locally sourced plastic waste into building materials for the local market. These are affordable, durable products under the brand name, EkoDuro.
