Project Summary / Description:
We are a social enterprise established to address the challenges of plastic waste pollution, waste management, deforestation and climate change. We recycle plastic waste and transform them into plastic lumber. Plastic lumber is an affordable alternative to wood timber; this reduces the need for building materials manufactured from wood. Hence helps to preserve forests by lowering deforestation rates and decreasing the effects of climate change by preventing waste burning in the landfills. Plastic lumbers are ideal product for building, construction and furniture making.
