Problem
There is a tragic amount of waste in the United States. Nearly 200 million tons of trash get dumped and go unrecycled each year, creating a landfill crisis in multiple areas of the country.
Dumps are overflowing. States are running out of room for everything they throw away, and some are shipping their trash to cleaner, greener areas. This misuse of resources and destruction of land must stop.
Our Solution
That’s why Louis Structures has created a patented pending proven method for repurposing nearly all the nation’s currently wasted consumer byproducts into clean and environmentally friendly construction cubes and pellets. In our factories, municipal solid waste will be sorted, shredded, dehydrated and rendered inert, producing clean construction cubes and pellets.
This environmentally friendly building aggregate can be put to beneficial public use as green building material for retaining walls, dams, highway construction and public infrastructure around the country.
Who We Are
Louis Structures is a construction technology company specializing in turning landfill into backfill, or the stuff used for major construction projects involving earth-moving and concrete. Our industry-disrupting and proprietary method for processing municipal solid waste into green construction materials is the solution for the landfill crisis, and we have a patent-pending retaining wall design that can use our clean construction cubes and pellets in publicly beneficial structures. We have a team of scientific researchers, construction companies, and waste removal companies who have tested and support our work. And now we're in the process of getting our pilot processing plant off the ground. That's where you come in.
How You Can Help
If you believe landfills are wasteful, there are two things you can do to help us revolutionize both the construction and recycling industries.
First, give to this campaign! It takes a grass roots movement to change the direction of how we think about trash and what we do with it. We're in the process of getting our tested materials to market by getting the next steps of our pilot processing plant in place. Having thousands of grass roots supporters on board helps build confidence with major investors, not to mention the agencies that oversee waste disposal and recycling. Once we've built this momentum, we believe we will have enough to show major investors who have demonstrated interest, and who can make the project explode with enough capital to build processing plants in every landfill crisis area around the nation - just to start!
Also, share this campaign on social media to spread the word! We need your friends to hear about this too, not just so they get behind us and give, but because we want everyone, including the media, to encourage the government to use our technology for massive building projects, like highway infrastructure and hurricane seawalls. Projects of this size could eliminate years' worth of trash in landfill crisis areas around the country. Dumps could be scraped clean, and the land reclaimed for green spaces and useful places.
So if you think trash should be a thing of the past, give today, whatever you can, and share this campaign. Do your part to eliminate waste by helping us do ours!
Rewards
The biggest reward you will get from contributing and sharing this campaign is knowing you've done something good. You have helped make our environment a healthier place to live. You have helped make public infrastructure less expensive for taxpayers. And you have invested in a company that believes in doing good. Louis Structures' core values include being a good neighbor. That means we invest proceeds into providing shelter for people on the streets, helping returning veterans get good paying jobs, and locating factories in economically disadvantaged areas. And we believe in being a good neighbor to surrounding nations that need our technology, and to the ocean life that will benefit from our help with the trash island clean up. So when you invest in us, that means you're being a good neighbor too.
