3. Project Objectives
Replace traditional clay bricks with non-fired alternatives.
Utilize industrial by-products and recyclable material.
Reduce carbon emissions and prevent agricultural land degradation.
Supply superior-quality construction materials that meet global standards (ISO 9001,
BSTI certified).
Create local employment and promote industrial upskilling.
4. Market and Industry Analysis
Bangladesh’s brick industry, contributing 1% to GDP, produces about 17 billion bricks annually,
primarily through 6,000 traditional kilns emitting 15 million tons of CO₂. Government
restrictions on clay kilns and urban expansion are driving a shift toward eco-block technology.
Target Market: Real estate companies, infrastructure developers, government ministries (e.g.
LGED, PWD), NGOs.
Market Growth: Demand for eco-blocks increasing by 15% annually.
Competitive Advantage: EcoBrick’s German automated hydraulic machinery ensures
productivity, quality, and environmental compliance.
5. Technical Details and Production Plan
Products: Hollow blocks, solid blocks, paving stones, and curbstones.
Technology: QFT 18-20 Automatic Block Line (China) with German PLC system by Siemens.
Production Capacity: 100,000 units/day (8-hour shift).
Raw Materials:
Cement – 15%
Sylhet sand – 30%
Stone dust – 55%
Strength: Minimum 2500 psi; water absorption below 8.5%.
Production System: Fully automated batching, mixing, moulding, and curing with zero-waste
production control.
