JD Composites of Meteghan is developing technology to help control the landfill overflow, reduce environmental damage associated with plastics.

The company is building a concept home using 100 per cent post-consumer polyethylene terephthalate (PET) foam, from more than 500,000 recycled plastic bottles and finished with traditional products such as drywall.

Ottawa is loaning the company $109,690 through Atlantic Canada Opportunity Agency’s business development program.

JD Composites plans to build homes and export sustainable housing materials.
