RAM PARAMESHWAR SINGH ECOBRICKS PRIVATE LIMITED

Our yard is located at House Number 50 in Kalianpur Basiawan. RAM PARAMESHWAR SINGH ECOBRICKS PRIVATE LIMITED is right in the middle of the village area, so it’s a lot quieter than the city. We have a good amount of space out here to stack the bricks and let them set in the open air. Tola-Kalianpur is where most of our workers come from, so it feels like a real community effort every day. We make these eco-bricks using a process that doesn't involve the old-style kilns, which makes the air around the village a bit cleaner than other spots. It’s still hard work though. You are on your feet all day, moving heavy blocks and checking the mix for each batch. The weather plays a big part in how our week goes. If it rains, everything slows down and we have to cover the stacks with plastic sheets to keep them dry. On sunny days, we are out there from dawn until it gets too dark to see much. We don't have any big marketing plans or a fancy website. People usually just hear about us from their neighbors or see the trucks moving through the panchayat. It is just a local operation run by people who live right here. We sit around under the trees during lunch and talk about the local news. It’s a slow-paced life but the work is steady and keeps us all busy throughout the year.
