Lisrec Project Roadmap

The roadmap represents not only a plan for the Lisrec project but also a key tool for orientation, motivation, and trust. In a project that connects ecological construction, recycling, energy self-sufficiency, and community living, the roadmap acts as a compass through uncharted terrain — helping us stay on course and giving everyone involved a clear understanding of where we’re headed.
Thanks to the roadmap, the entire complex process can be divided into specific, concrete phases — from development, through technological preparation and factory construction, to the launch of community centers and technology parks. Every step has its purpose, logic, and goal. This turns a vision into a realistic plan that can be clearly communicated to investors, partners, and the public.

The roadmap also shows that Lisrec is not just a dream but a systematically and responsibly managed change. It proves that behind every idea stand concrete actions — inspiring trust, attracting collaborators, and allowing big ideas to become reality.

Lisrec – Technology Turning Waste into Homes

We connect ecology, innovation, and the future. We build houses from recycled plastics, textiles, and sand. “Turning waste into life. Ecology, technology, and the future of living in one project.”

Lisrec – a new era of recycling and sustainable construction

Lisrec is not just a project. It’s the beginning of a new era — merging ecology, technology, and the future of living.

We recognize the scale and uniqueness of this vision, which is why we’re proceeding step by step. We’re starting with the development and realization of technology for processing plastic waste, old textiles, sand, and recycled building material.

This technology will first take shape as a modular container production line. Thanks to its compact and mobile design, it can be deployed directly in areas where waste occurs. Waste becomes a local resource — a raw material for new products.

The outcome: construction elements for ecological and affordable housing and components for the Hobby Program, enabling a sustainable lifestyle for everyone.

How Much Waste Can Lisrec Recycle?

Lisrec building elements may look modest — but they hide immense recycling power:

  • 1 m² of wall made from our elements consumes approx. 9 249 plastic shopping bags, 297 T-shirts, and 21,8 kg of sand or recycled building material.
  • A small house (6 × 6 m, 3 m height, only outer walls) absorbs about 998 892 plastic bags, 32 076 T-shirts, and over 2,3 tons of sand or recyclate.

These are not just numbers — this is real waste that would otherwise end up in landfills, incinerators, or oceans. Together, we turn it into homes, gardens, and living spaces that improve people’s quality of life.

Ecological DIY Construction for Everyone

We start with a Hobby Program open to all. In its first phase, it will offer the ability to build simple walls with modular flower planters — usable both vertically and on the ground. Thus, waste turns into growing space for vegetables, herbs, and flowers, while also serving as fencing or architectural features.

Every Piece of Waste Has Value. Everyone Can Be Part of Change

Lisrec isn’t just about technology — it’s a movement that transforms waste into life.
With help from the Lisrec Endowment Fund, we can turn millions of plastic bags and thousands of pieces of textile into new building blocks — faster, more efficiently, and at a larger scale.

Every contribution helps convert tons of waste into new homes, gardens, and hope for the future. Each donation creates new opportunities to get involved and become part of a project that helps change the world.

Support us. Join the project that turns waste into life — and helps the planet breathe again.

The entire Lisrec project needs to be financed.

We have two paths: a strong financial partner, or community support.

Which option would you choose?

Variant 1: Strong Investor

Technology meant to help people build affordable homes on their own could end up in the hands of large corporations.
Investors — driven mainly by profit — would dictate terms. Ecology, fairness, and real affordability would fall aside. Those without millions would remain behind the fence.

Variant 2: Community Support

People themselves contribute small amounts, forming the foundation from which the project grows.
This way, technology spreads at fair prices, and everyone can take part — from production and distribution to new ecological innovations.

It’s a chance not only for better living conditions but also for building one’s own career and future.

Cast your vote — which path feels right to you?

LISREC is a project with a human face.
A project guided by heart — giving people the power to shape the future.
As Lisrec grows, a business model will be introduced allowing all supporters and partners to share in its success.

“For every 1 USD, you receive 1 Lisrec digital building stone, showing how much you’ve contributed and what impact it makes.”

Lisrec kámen

1 Lisrec = 90 plastic bags transformed into building material

The internal Lisrec digital stone serves as an ecological and reputational unit and is managed by the Lisrec.com platform.

  • it has only symbolic, reputational, or community value,
  • it is used exclusively within the closed Lisrec project system,
  • it acts as a digital confirmation of participation and contribution,
  • LISREC units are credited to the donor’s personal account managed on Lisrec.com (see full definition).
“This makes sense — I want to have more Lisrecs, because it means I’m truly helping to change the world.”

The Lisrec Line — Turning Thousands of Bags and T-Shirts Into New Building Blocks Every Day

A single Lisrec micro production line with just two molds can process daily:

  • 379 839 plastic bags
  • 7 742 used T-shirts
  • 1,5 tons of sand or recycled aggregate

From this, up to 1,600 full-size building components are created each day — ready for immediate use.

The technology is not only efficient but also ecological — transforming ordinary waste that would otherwise burden landfills or incinerators into materials for sustainable construction.

Environmental Benefits for the Region

Installing such a line locally represents a crucial step toward a regional circular economy. Waste from households, businesses, and textile factories is processed directly on-site — instead of costly transport and disposal.

This reduces:

  • Carbon footprint from transport and waste handling
  • Landfill volume and consumption of primary construction materials

It also creates new jobs — from collection and sorting to operating production lines and construction using the Lisrec system — while reducing housing costs through the use of locally produced materials.

Lisrec brings more than recycling — it brings innovation for a better environment, stronger communities, and real progress toward sustainable development.

Planting Boxes

Planting boxes are not limited to vegetables; they can also be used to grow herbs and various spices. The advantage is that, if necessary, the entire box can be removed and taken to the kitchen. After use, the box can be reinserted into its original place. This also allows plants to be protected from adverse weather conditions, such as frost, etc.

Façade Greenhouse

The entire construction system is a modular kit that allows for high creativity. Similarly, a small greenhouse can be created on the facade to accelerate seed germination and seedling planting. By utilizing the existing substrate box, combining aluminum tubes and food-grade plastic wrap, everything can be easily implemented at almost no cost, extending the growing season.

Material

The material from which the construction elements are made is resistant to water, acids, and other mechanical influences. It is also resistant to plant growth. All construction elements are manufactured using calibrated molds under high pressure. This ensures maximum accuracy of the entire construction system. This allows for building with millimeter precision while maintaining all right angles and flat surfaces.

Calibrated Dimensional Accuracy

All construction elements are manufactured using calibrated molds under high pressure. This ensures maximum accuracy of the entire construction system. This allows for building with millimeter precision while maintaining all right angles and flat surfaces. Thanks to the unique and simple construction system that automatically ensures precision, even a moderately skilled builder can undertake construction using only the building plan.

Connecting Pin

A connecting pin is mainly used for simple walls and partitions with a thickness of 100 mm. It is also used for fencing. The pin also ties the structure horizontally and vertically between individual layers. This is a very strong connection that can be easily disassembled if needed. Due to the properties of these joints, the structure can be easily dismantled and reused to build a new one with a different shape and layout without losing functional properties.

Horizontal Load-Bearing Structures

Horizontal load-bearing structures for floors and ceilings are made of wooden KVH beams or planks, which are firmly mechanically attached to the load-bearing walls using steel beam brackets. The beam brackets are screwed into the body of the wall and secured from the other side. On the load-bearing wooden structures, a cover made from the same material as the construction system can be simply placed.

Technical Elements

The shape of individual modules prevents splashing water from penetrating the structure and stops heat loss. The construction elements interlock and overlap. This shape allows the entire structure to be easily stacked together. When securing screws are used, they are concealed and protected under the protrusion of the second module.

Groove for Pin Insertion

A groove for pin insertion. Individual modules are interconnected using protrusions that precisely fit into the groove. These connections ensure high joint strength and maximum vertical and horizontal precision. The connection is achieved by simple insertion. The joints are extremely strong, tested in practice for hundreds of years, and can be easily disassembled if needed.

Structural Spacer with Openings

A structural spacer with openings for routing electrical distribution, data cables, water, and waste pipes. The spacer also connects the external and internal shells of perimeter and load-bearing walls. The openings are sized up to 110 mm for routing waste pipes with a standard diameter suited for residential houses and medium-sized operations. In cases of higher loads, the situation can be managed with parallel distributions connected outside the building or by utilizing the technical gap in the vertical direction up to a dimension of 250 mm.

Mounting Facade Elements

Mounting facade elements can be easily removed, and the openings can be sealed with plugs. Everything is designed as a simple, mechanically strong system utilizing grooves and special pins. When planning a vertical garden or other elements on the facade, a special module designed for facade elements must be used during the construction of the building’s outer shell.

Exchangeable Substrate Box

An exchangeable substrate box made of vermicompost for growing ornamental plants and food on the facade. It allows for the cultivation of various vegetables, including potatoes. When harvesting individual foods, the box can be easily replaced with a new one containing fresh seedlings, allowing continuous cultivation without affecting other crops. The boxes are made from the same material as the Lisrec construction system. They are resistant to water, acids, and other mechanical influences.

Interior Surface Treatment

Interior surface treatment can be carried out using drywall boards without the need for steel profiles, which significantly reduces costs and shortens the installation time. The wall surfaces are perfectly even, and it is sufficient to simply screw on the boards and finish with gypsum putty. All fixtures such as sockets and switches are easily embedded into drilled openings, just as with drywall, and connected to already prepared electrical wiring.

Structural Openings

Construction openings allow for separate vertical distribution of electricity and data cables without mutual interference. The cables are also protected. Cable routes in the structure are thus fixed, making it possible to calculate and prepare exact lengths of individual cables. This allows the builder to prepare most of the work themselves, leaving only the connection to be done by a specialist.

Technological Penetrations

For horizontal routing of larger water, waste, and electrical distributions, the spacer has openings with diameters of up to 110 mm. Other technologies can also be routed through these openings. Everything is again filled with loose thermal insulation or another material.

Horizontal Distribution

In cases where horizontal distribution of water, waste, and electrical wiring is required, prepared openings are used, which are then filled with loose thermal insulation or another loose material. They can also remain empty for ventilation purposes.

Structural Spacer

The structural spacer connects external and internal construction elements. It is used for load-bearing and perimeter walls. It has openings for electrical distribution, data cables, water, and waste pipes. The openings filled with loose insulation also prevent thermal bridges between the external and internal wall shells. It is connected to other elements by simple mutual insertion.

Technical Gap

The technical gap between the external and internal shells of the perimeter wall is filled with loose thermal insulation or another loose material according to the climate zone to increase thermal resistance. It can also remain empty for additional use in ventilating the building's structure.

Basic Construction Module

The same modules as those used on other surfaces are used on the external side of the load-bearing perimeter wall. The openings in them can be filled with thermal insulation, thereby increasing the overall thermal resistance of the perimeter wall. If additional elements need to be attached to the building's facade, a special module must be used.

Structural Spacer

A short structural spacer is used for zig-zag vertical interconnection of additional spacers to ensure that individual horizontal layers are firmly connected. This prevents any risk of layers not being securely tied together. It is also used for finishing the height of the wall. It connects the external and internal shells of the building wall.

Water and Waste Distribution

Openings in the structural modules allow for vertical distribution of water and waste even in a simple partition wall with a thickness of 100 mm. The gaps between the distributions and the walls are filled with loose thermal insulation or another material, depending on the climate zone. It is also possible to leave the gaps empty and use them for ventilation.

Final surface

In case it is necessary to create a surface on the wall similar to traditional masonry, the wall is primed, and after drying, construction adhesive with reinforcing fabric is applied. The adhesive that penetrates the fabric is smoothed to an even level. Once the surface hardens, the final stucco plaster and paint can be applied.
