**CRDC Materials** is a global sustainable building materials and technology company dedicated to transforming hard-to-recycle plastic waste into high-performance construction materials. Founded by the Center for Regenerative Design & Collaboration (CRDC), the company has pioneered a patented industrial process that converts mixed and low-value plastic waste into **RESIN8®**, an innovative recycled-content material used to enhance concrete and asphalt for more sustainable infrastructure.
With manufacturing operations across Costa Rica, the United States, South Africa, and Australia, CRDC Materials is helping address two of the world's most pressing challenges: plastic pollution and low-carbon construction. Its technology diverts plastic waste from landfills, incineration, rivers, and oceans, converting it into durable building materials that improve concrete performance, reduce reliance on virgin aggregates, and lower the environmental footprint of construction projects.
The company operates under its regenerative **REAP (Recover, Enrich, Appreciate, Prosper)** framework, which integrates environmental responsibility with economic and social value creation. By partnering with governments, construction companies, recyclers, NGOs, and global organizations, CRDC Materials promotes circular economy solutions that create long-term benefits for communities and the environment.
Driven by continuous innovation, sustainability, and scalable impact, CRDC Materials is advancing the global transition toward climate-resilient infrastructure by turning plastic waste into valuable resources for the built environment and supporting a future where waste becomes a driver of economic and environmental prosperity.
