4 Earth Global positively impacts all of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), holistically tackling the world’s most pressing challenges including plastic pollution, high unemployment, inadequate education facilities, lack of clean water and sanitation, housing shortages, gender inequality, and food insecurity.
Lifting communities out of poverty
Each of 4 Earth’s Manufacturing Plants creates up to 4,000 jobs, especially in developing countries, providing stable incomes and opportunities for growth. By investing in local communities, we’re breaking the cycle of poverty and empowering people to build a prosperous future.
Nourishing the world, one crop at a time
4 Earth’s innovative manufacturing process commingles plastic waste with organic waste materials such as wheat straw, coconut husks, and rice husks. This provides an additional income stream for farmers, enabling them to supply their communities with affordable food as 4 Earth remunerates them for their organic by-products.
Combating the plastic pandemic
Microplastics pose a serious danger, acting as vessels for harmful pathogens that can infiltrate our bodies and disrupt critical biological functions. But 4 Earth is fighting back, transforming this waste into durable, eco-friendly construction materials and therefore taking plastic out of the waste stream. Our green building materials are used to construct clinics and sanitation buildings, helping communities to heal and live healthier lives.
Investing in education, investing in change
Our sustainable building solutions are also used to construct affordable classrooms, offices, and sanitation facilities for schools in developing countries. By providing the infrastructure for education in safe, healthy environments, we’re unlocking the potential of the next generation to be enlightened leaders for a more positive tomorrow.
Creating a more equitable world
Each of our Manufacturing Plants offers a comprehensive skills training program, equipping women with the expertise to supervise and construct our innovative green building systems. These systems are designed to be non-labour intensive, opening up opportunities for women to thrive in this industry. We’re proud to say that our aim is for 70% of the jobs created through our initiatives to be filled by women. By investing in the skills and leadership of women, we’re driving meaningful social change.
Protecting our water from plastic pollution
Our innovative Manufacturing Plants are revolutionising the way we manage plastic waste. By repurposing at least 675 tons of recycled plastic every month, per Plant, into our green building materials, we’re not only reducing the amount of waste that ends up in our rivers, dams, and water supplies, but also preventing the spread of disease-carrying mosquitoes that thrive in improperly disposed plastic.
Towards a Greener Tomorrow
4 Earth’s Manufacturing Plants are engineered to emit zero carbon dioxide, while generating 15,000 carbon credits per year. This groundbreaking approach not only reduces our environmental impact but also creates a new revenue stream to support sustainable development.
Building a Better World
Our building materials are highly affordable, durable and enable quick to construct homes, schools, clinics, toilet buildings, decking, wall cladding, fencing and more, creating up to 4,000 local jobs per Manufacturing Plant. By exporting our high-quality building materials, we’re driving economic growth and increasing income for the communities and countries where our plants operate.
Turning Waste into Wonder
4 Earth’s groundbreaking process seamlessly commingles waste plastic and organic materials, transforming them into durable, sustainable building composites. By utilizing all 7 grades of plastic waste packaging, we’re pioneering a new era in the wood-plastic composites (WPC) market, expected to reach $16 billion by 2030.
Empowering Women and Youth
At the heart of our mission is a commitment to social impact. Each of 4 Earth’s Manufacturing Plants create thousands of jobs along the entire production and construction chain, with 70% fulfilled by women and 50% by youth aged 18-35. We’re not just building sustainable structures – we’re building a more equitable, inclusive world.
Built to Last, Designed for Life
Our innovative green construction products and buildings are engineered to stand the test of time, offering unparalleled durability, and sustainability. They are maintenance-free, non-combustible and every detail is crafted to provide you with a living space that is built to last and kind to the environment. Our air-pocket insulation, sound-absorptive design, and modular construction ensure your comfort, while our UV protection and resistance to mould, fungi, and wood borers provide you with a worry-free, healthy living environment.
Designed for Durability, Reuse, and Permanent Recyclability
At 4 Earth, we’re on a mission to revolutionise the way the world thinks about plastic. Our innovative solutions and services span the entire production and consumption process, enabling a true circular economy that keeps plastics in circulation and out of our environment, forever.
Towards a Zero-Emission Future
At the heart of 4 Earth’s mission is a commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. Our revolutionary process operates with zero carbon emissions, empowering companies and organisations with a deep respect for our planet to build with a clear conscience.
Turning the Tide on Plastic Pollution
At the heart of our mission lies a profound commitment to environmental stewardship. By harnessing the power of recycled plastic, we are not only reducing the devastating impact of plastic waste on our oceans but also creating a sustainable alternative to traditional building materials.
Our innovative process transforms up to 750 tons of discarded plastic per month, per plant, into high-quality, durable building materials. This radical approach not only diverts plastic from waterways and landfills, but also provides a practical, eco-friendly solution for the construction industry.
Preserving Our Forests, Protecting Our Planet
By utilizing organic waste materials instead of wood, we’re preventing deforestation and its devastating ecological consequences. Our sustainable building solutions not only reduce waste but also safeguard the delicate balance of our natural world, ensuring a greener, more resilient future for generations to come.
Dignity, Stability, and Opportunity for All
At the heart of 4 Earth Global lies a powerful vision – to enable people everywhere to live, learn, and work with dignity, contribute to thriving communities, and build a better future. By championing the principles of empowering education and safety through the production and construction of our building systems, we are providing opportunities for communities to take ownership, and promote pride and peace.
JOINED by Visionaries
Our strategic relationships, including USAID, UNIDO, Prevent Waste Alliance, German Ministry GIZ, Nolands Group, MH&A Engineers, and SOATA Architects, bring a wealth of expertise, resources, and a shared commitment to creating positive, lasting change. Together, we’re tackling the world’s most pressing challenges and paving the way for a more sustainable future. From environmental conservation to social empowerment, our collaborative efforts are transforming communities and inspiring hope for a better tomorrow.
Through our commitment to sustainable practices, we’re not just cleaning up our communities, we’re enabling people to live, learn and work in dignity, creating a brighter, more prosperous future for all.
