Let's tackle the Caribbean plastic waste issue by transforming our islands’ plastic waste into eco-friendly, durable and affordable building materials and furniture.​ With a groundbreaking innovation, plastic waste is now being repurposed into durable Ekoduro building materials.​

Ekoduro is a material made from recycled plastic and processed through our innovative transformer technology. It is durable, sustainable, and versatile.

This “dough-like” composite that is incredibly durable can be molded into any shape, currently it is molded into a board and sold at Kooyman b.v.

Everything made with Ekoduro is incredibly strong and can withstand extreme conditions like sun, salt, wind and water.

It’s weatherproofed, won’t fade fast or wear down from constant exposure to the sun and hot temperatures, is splinter free, odorless and cleanable with just soap and water. Ekoduro products are maintenance-free and built to last.
