JOHANNESBURG - Property developer Blok joined forces with Cape Town locals to eliminate rubbish and preserve the beauty of the city's treasured shoreline, collecting 77 bags of litter at Broken Bath Beach near the Sea Point Pavilion this past weekend.

The event confirmed Blok's continuous commitment to sustainability, collaboration, and community-driven projects, with plans currently in the works to expand the Blok Spring Clean's reach by 2025.

Blok, along with its mindful collaborators, will continue to encourage constructive environmental change in the Sea Point community.

After sorting through the trash, the 17 bags of plastic were delivered to the Centre for Regenerative Design and Collaboration (CRDC), where they will be turned into an eco-aggregate to make green building bricks and construction products. 

Some of these bricks are expected to be utilised in the future Blok development to demonstrate Blok's commitment to community upliftment and initiatives.

"We're incredibly proud of the Sea Point community and the positive impact we've made together," said Blok's head of marketing, Troy Squire.

"Sea Point's promenade and beaches are iconic, and it's inspiring to see so many people come together to protect and preserve this beautiful public space."
