Imagine a future where the plastic waste crisis and the global housing shortage are things of the past. At Othalo, we’re building a movement to make that future a reality, one home at a time.
Our Mission:
We’re on a mission to solve two of the world’s biggest challenges: transforming the plastic waste problem into a solution by creating affordable, sustainable housing for the 1 billion people who currently lack a place to call home. We believe that everyone deserves a home where prosperity begins, and were dedicated to making that vision come to life.
What We Do:
With our revolutionary, patented technology, Othalo converts plastic waste into durable, energy-efficient, and affordable modular housing units. These aren’t just houses—they’re homes that can be built up to six floors high, offering a scalable solution to meet the world’s housing needs. Every home we build is a step towards decarbonizing our planet and creating a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Why Othalo?
Othalo is driven by a deep belief that sustainable living should be a universal right, not a privilege. Our work isn’t just about addressing today’s challenges; it’s about creating lasting, meaningful change. By turning waste into homes, we’re not only solving immediate problems but also laying the foundation for a better, more equitable world.
Our vision and dedication have been recognized on the global stage. Othalo has earned first prize awards from MIT and Dubai Holding, highlighting our potential to revolutionize housing and decarbonize the planet.

On average, we spend 90% of our time indoors. Shouldnt our air be clean?
Keeping this in mind, we developed Smart Technology that gathers Intelligence, Data and Insight from indoor spaces to make people healthier (physically, mentally and cognitively) by cleaning their air.
In less than 15 minutes, DuctFIT® creates a safe environment that is 99.9% free of pathogens in air and on surfaces.
We are data driven but human centric.
