Ava Mulla and I tried to tackle the brick kiln issue in Bangladesh with Building Pioneers in 2015-2017. Business model around helping existing kilns adopt new technologies and getting the national industry transformation fund on board didn’t play out at the time, but soil tests, experiments with alternative materials, some contacts, and general experience in the local environment might still be relevant to new ventures. Happy to connect you with Ava, who was the CEO and engineer on the ground.
