Classroom of Hope and Classroom of Hope Indonesia has partnered with Block Solutions for our Block Schools project. Block Solutions has developed environmentally friendly “block modules” which we use to deliver our Block Schools program. We purchase blocks-modules made from Indonesia’s recycled plastic waste from Block Solutions Indonesia. Block-modules are used for building sustainable and safe buildings that are affordable, durable, sustainable, easy to build, and can be dismantled and rebuilt. The carbon footprint of block-modules is close to zero. The blocks are comprised of various forms of recycled plastic which are washed and broken down into granules and then processed into an injection molding machine to create the blocks.
