the clean city initiative
We are a technology-driven social enterprise committed to eradicating plastic waste pollution and severe flooding in Nigeria through the power of upcycling that creates jobs and economic liberation for Nigerians and beyond. We create value and wealth in the form of eco-furniture from waste plastic products and also employ a community-based social benefit and incentive scheme that rewards plastic waste recycling.
our plastic waste eradication model
We have designed a 5-pronged model which takes a holistic approach to solving the problem of plastic waste pollution. Our model involves
sensitization
By partnering with local communities, through monthly clean-up programs we sensitize the general population on the dangers of indiscriminate plastic waste disposal and its contribution to: flooding, environmental degradation, destruction of life on water and climate change.
