Plastic pollution is one of the biggest threats to our planet. Well, with increasing awareness, more and more people are learning about its ill effects and switching to sustainable products. Also, there are number of brands all over the world that are creating eco-friendly products. One such brand is Hungary-based Sekhina that is manufacturing switches and sockets from concrete. Yes, you read it right! The brand is handcrafting concrete switches and sockets, a stylish and more environmental friendly alternative to plastic.

Referred as “stone to stone” products, these very first concrete covers for switches/sockets are made from only silicates. Also, Sekhina don’t use any artificial resin or pollutant additives. The covers they make can fit safely over industry-standard electrical mechanisms created by well-known brands. The startup uses high-performance concrete which is infused with an eco-friendly water-repellent agent. Thus, this makes cleaning stains and grease from the surface of a switch very easy.
