At Kubik, we turn hard-to-recycle plastic waste into low-cost, low-carbon building materials. Our buildings are more durable and affordable than the old way of making buildings- and it’s less polluting. Our vision is to build dignity through clean and affordable living for all. From schools to clinics, homes to warehouses, Kubik is bringing environmental dignity to how countries grow and urbanize. We are honoured to have been named the Global Startup of the Year 2023 by the Global Startup Awards!
