"Two thousand used tires will be used in the construction of the headquarters of the technology company Plako, in Póvoa de Lanhoso, a building that is intended to have zero impact on the environment, it was announced today.

The executive director of the company, Moisés Campos, told Lusa that the investment will amount to 230 thousand euros and will allow the increase in the number of jobs.

We have eight workers at the moment, but we plan to reach 25, within three or four years, he referred.

Called Utopia, the building will be built by reusing used tires, using a construction technique developed by the American eco-architect Michael Reynolds".
