Waste recovery unit

The quantity of household waste has experienced over the past decades a rapid growth due to the accelerated urbanization that characterized the last century. This phenomenon is more critical in developing countries which do not always have the means to manage them properly. Ivorian cities, like many African cities, are filled with illegal dumping grounds and rivers are clogged with plastic waste. Our environment is therefore negatively impacted today, and has been for years.

Between 1950 and 2015. 1800 billion plastic waste pollutes our seas. According to statistics from the Ministry of the Environment in Côte d'Ivoire, 560 tonnes of plastic waste are produced per day and 95% ends up in pipes and waterways. We recycle and transform plastic waste into different products such as pavers, road signs, precast bricks and tiles. This solution makes it possible to reduce diseases linked to unsanitary conditions and also to beautify our environment.

According to statistics from the Ministry of the Environment in Côte d'Ivoire, 560 tonnes of plastic waste is produced per day and 95% ends up in pipes and waterways.

With this annual production of 200,000 tonnes, plastic bags represent a threat to the population and the living environment. This is for some countries like Rwanda, my country Ivory Coast, have signed decrees prohibiting the use of plastic bags. This measure unfortunately leads to the closure of several companies thus defined as unemployment and accentuating poverty.

we provide solutions to its problems. We recycle and transform this plastic waste into different products such as pavers, road signs, precast bricks and tiles. We have residential ecological pavers that are made to beautify homes, sidewalk ecological pavers for sidewalks and road pavers for roads. In addition to that we want to create fuel from plastic waste.

Our target is essentially made up of households that we first get rid of household waste and then we make offers of paving stones to beautify their environments, then the women collectors of plastic waste that we support and buy their products which allows them to fight against poverty. companies such as hardware stores, construction companies who use our products for their construction, non-governmental organizations with whom we organize health activities. Evaluations are therefore carried out to verify our impact on our targets and to improve our products.

The environmental challenge is what we have to take up at the level of our population. Our solution allows populations to have a holy environment and also to have a holy and clean living environment improves the health of the population by fighting against insalubrity

We have already tested our ecological paver because it has already been used on sidewalks, in residences and other places we have already had customers who have made purchases we are today at a stage of development in order to have good growth.

What makes our solution innovative is the fact that it is the concrete pavement that is used a lot, Our solution is an innovative car shows a new use of plastic waste that was not used for any positive. The use of our solution thus changes the consumption of the populations and makes it possible to protect our living environment. Clean up the environment when collecting plastic waste

We work with over a thousand people, we want to increase by 20 to 50% by 2022, i.e. up to 5,000 people. and Within 5 years reach 50,000 people. Regarding the indirect impact we millions of people in terms of health and environmental protection.

We measure our impacts through the number of recovered waste, the number of ecological pavers manufactured

Number of people sensitized

Number of recovered waste: 2,800,000 tonnes

Number of ecological paving stones: 25,000 m²

There are 18 workers in staff

4 workers part-time

100 others workers

In this field we are the first to have experienced it and we have among us people who have different skills such as welding, mechanics, carpentry, accounting, project management. And we have had several trainings with national and international partners such as GIZ, ANAGED etc ...  

To build a diverse, equitable and inclusive team, we emphasize unity and consensus because we come from many countries and companies. The values of justice equity are our motives.

We are applying for this price to make ourselves known, to make our solution known. Have opportunities for international partnerships. Find training that will allow us to develop and international support that will allow us to improve. And also to develop our business in order to have a great positive impact in our community and other communities.

Business model because We are today in a planetary world of tough competition which implies that we must implement a better strategy, hence the importance of this aspect. We are a young company that wants to grow and develop and this requires better management of our accounting system which allows us to access large amounts of funding.

Public relations (e.g. branding / marketing, social and global media) We need to have a good marketing strategy to have good markets

Monitoring and evaluation (e.g. data collection / use, impact measurement) Poor evaluation can cause us serious harm hence the importance of this aspect

The history of our company rhymes with war because many of us are veterans and many fighters who were refugees have returned to work with us. At the same time, we can insert other refugees who are still outside to allow them to live better once in the country.

In our ambition, we intend to create a school to learn skills in this field, in particular transforming plastic waste into ecological materials and also into ecological fuels. this for us will create a community that struggles to preserve our environment. In the protection of the environment awareness is very important, which will help to create a community for education for behavior change

We want to create an application that wants to facilitate the collection of plastic waste among women plastic waste collectors.

The ecological signs we create can be displayed on our shores to warn people who want to overfishing. Also ecological bars can be used to surround the banks to prohibit fishing.

Plastic waste in nature represents a surplus of carbon, recycling it also helps reduce the carbon content in nature.
