A Startup Builds Backyard Studio Homes With Recycled Plastic

Azure Printed Homes (Azure) uses recycled plastic for printing prefabricated houses in 3D.

This company sells several models from from a backyard studio to a two bedroom home. AZure says it can build a house 70% faster and 30% cheaper than “traditional house building method”.

The 1,400-square-meter plant in Culver City, California plans to print several structures a day to meet growing demand.

Azure has developed innovative technologies to create durable and livable structures made from scrap plastic using processes that are much better for the environment than traditional construction and the use of concrete.

Azure’s creative solutions aim to minimize waste by utilizing plastics that are already destined for landfills, or that often end up in our oceans or are burned.

By using recycled materials instead of new resources, Azure aims to close the circle of sustainability in the 3D residential construction sector, approach the goal of a circular economy to make optimal use of previously used materials.

Azure will create the first durable residential community whose structures will be completely 3D printed using the same techniques as reusing waste materials.
