Good Bricks factory officially inaugurated in Pakistan

The new production facility marks a milestone in sustainable construction across South Asia.

InnoCSR, a leader in sustainable construction technology, has officially launched its Good Bricks factory in Thatta, near Karachi, Pakistan. The launch marks a major milestone in the company’s mission to transform the construction sector in South Asia through the production of non-fired bricks with low emissions.

The Good Bricks Thatta factory is funded by the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute (KEITI) and supported by UNIDO, the European Union, Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA), Reserve Carbon, Sindh People’s Housing for Flood Affectees (SPHF), HANDS Pakistan, and NED University of Engineering & Technology in Karachi. This collaborative effort reflects the growing commitment of international and local stakeholders to advance sustainable building practices in Pakistan.

The factory will begin its operations by supplying bricks for reconstruction efforts in flood-affected areas in Sindh province, where the local government is leading the construction of 2.1 million houses – making it the world’s largest housing initiative – and integrating green construction solutions.

Good Bricks technology uses a soil stabiliser that enables cold-pressing without coal-fired kilns, drastically reducing CO₂ and air pollution. The proprietary, non-toxic agent enhances the brick’s mechanical properties for improved strength and durability.

The opening ceremony was attended by representatives of international institutions, local academics and community leaders, who were given a guided tour of the factory, including a live demonstration of the eco-friendly brick production process.
