Oh wow, this is great to see! I know Nzambi from a trip to Kenya! She's been working on this for years and despite a great performing product she really struggled to find funding. Hopefully this coverage will help with that. If anyone is interested in funding her and wants to get in touch I can reach out on your behalf.

Hey! I was thinking about funding while reading the article. I would love to have a conversation. Please do reach out to the email in my profile if you have the time.

That's awesome! Don't personally have funding, but I'm wondering what if anything is holding this back from being deployed more widely? Why aren't other companies pursuing this?

Nairobi has a particularly acute problem of plastic trash everywhere which this really scratches the itch of helping solve this in an economically incentivizing way. I'm sure there are likely other places where the problem is prevalent.

I'd certainly buy these if they were available and competitive with concrete paving stones in the U.S. There are some use cases where I think they would be preferable as they would be less likely to crack than concrete.
