Kabidula InvestmentUpcycling quarry dust to affordable & eco-friendly housing construction blocks



Kabidula Investment produces quarry blocks using leftover quarry dust from conventional quarry mines. The enterprise avoids the use of river sand and burnt clay bricks, as sand mining causes river siltation and river bank fall-in while burning bricks using firewood aggravates deforestation.
As eco-blocks are produced at a competitive price and quality, more environmentally-friendly and cost-conscious consumers are switching from conventional burnt bricks to eco-blocks. The growing market for quarry blocks represents an opportunity for growth in this sector.
