Gerhard Dust, an entrepreneur, was inspired by the 2010 Haiti earthquake. This led to a decade-long development of revolutionary polymeric concrete from desert sand and PET plastics. Hard as granite and shaped like LEGO bricks, this innovation enables houses to be built in a single day. He applied this in Africa, fostering a local circular economy. His talk details this journey and its potential to transform construction.

Dr. Dust's career spanned construction and the book industry, notably as COO of Libri (1991-2008), known for automated distribution systems. Driven by the Haiti crisis, he founded PolyCare in 2010. The company's award-winning construction process has since earned over 20 international accolades. This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
