Byfusion: RePlast
A 100% modular technology that converts waste plastic into an alternative building material.
ByFusion is a 100% modular technology platform that converts all types of waste plastic into an alternative building material called RePlast. Our eco-friendly process is a low emission and non-toxic way to “upcycle” plastic waste from our communities, coastlines, and landfills into a readily-usable new product. ByFusion has been designed as a key component in promoting community-based circular economies – fully supporting the ability to convert plastic waste generated within a city into a building material that can be used locally for construction, infrastructure, and development projects. ByFusion is capable of processing plastic collected from our oceans and coastlines and diverting millions of tons of plastic from landfills, saving taxpayers and municipal governments billions of dollars in costs, and creating jobs through local and regional business development.
