Long Business Description

Derelikt is an innovative startup born from the vision to tackle Cyprus's costly plastic waste management and high electricity prices. Observing the abundance of plastic litter and the ample land available for development, with predominantly two-story buildings, I saw an opportunity for sustainable growth.

Our core operation at Derelikt focuses on collecting and recycling plastic waste—we're even prepared to incentivize the process by paying individuals for their plastic contributions. Additionally, we are partnering with the government to process state-collected waste, offering a more cost-effective solution than current practices.

Our recycled plastic is then transformed into a variety of new products using mold presses, which we sell to generate revenue. A key innovative process we've implemented is extrusion, allowing us to create construction blocks that are ten times stronger and more durable than traditional materials, and houses built from recycled plastic are twice as affordable, due to the speed of construction. These blocks are weatherproof, resistant to decay, and do not support insect infestation, making them an revolutionary eco-friendly alternative in the building sector.

Further pushing the boundaries, we incorporate our recycled plastic into industrial 3D printers (our Ukrainian partners) that are capable of constructing homes, creating an even more efficient building process.

Beyond plastic, we're also venturing into textile recycling, repurposing old clothing to create new, sustainable garments. Derelikt is not just a business, but a revolution in sustainable living, creating a closed-loop systems, building a future where waste is a resource, and eco-friendly housing is accessible to all.
