The neighborhood is overwhelmed with mountains of trash imported from advanced nations such as the U.S., Japan and Germany. Material scientist Nzambi MATEE comes up with the ingenious idea to create sustainable paving bricks from plastic waste and sand which causes a wave in the construction industry.
