Project Summary / Description:
Two Billion trees are cut down every year just to supply wood to the furniture and the construction industry making deforestation the second leading cause of climate change. ECOACT Tanzania is a social enterprise that has developed a chemical free technology to transform ocean plastic waste, packaging materials and electronic waste to manufacture durable and affordable plastic timbers used for building, construction as well as furniture making.
How Project Affects Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions:
['Reduces GHGs (e.g., projects that reduce sources of GHGs, such as through efficiency or other changes in consumption)']
Impact on Underrepresented Groups:
The business has created opportunities for unemployed youth and women, who make a living by collecting, sorting and cleaning plastic waste for reselling. EcoAct Tanzania works in partnership with about 200 collectors and buys the waste from them at a rate per kilogram. Bye end of 2025 We aim to create 100 direct and more than 500 indirect jobs.
