Multi-purpose irrigation equipment made with plastic waste
- Niger
- For-profit, including B-Corp or similar models
In Niger, millions of tonnes of plastic waste are thrown into nature every year. Subsequently, more than 60% of small agricultural producers do not have access to modern irrigation equipment in order to improve their production yields. It is for all these reasons that we invented this automatic, versatile and ecological irrigation device made with plastic waste
The versatile and ecological irrigation device is made with plastic waste and therefore less expensive. It allows small farmers to have access to an automatic irrigation system at a lower cost in order to improve their production yield and better management of irrigation water.
Our solution serves small farmers who do not have access to modern irrigation systems and equipment to increase their production yields, our solution also serves the community by ridding it of plastic waste
Our team is made up of passionate people who have been working on this project since 2023 and the project manager has filed the patent application for this invention.
- Strengthen coastal and marine ecosystems and communities through the broader blue economy, including fisheries, clean energy, and monitoring, reporting, and verification.

- Prototype
We manufactured the prototype with which we carried out efficiency tests in our workspace
We are applying for solve in the hope of finding investors capable of investing in the production of large-scale equipment.
- Financial (e.g. accounting practices, pitching to investors)
The irrigation device is made with plastic waste, it allows you to switch to the taste of taste to taste the spray irrigation system only by changing plast bottles so without changing the original installation of the hoses
The versatile and ecological irrigation device is made with plastic waste and therefore less expensive. It allows small farmers to have access to an automatic irrigation system at a lower cost in order to improve their production yield and better management of irrigation water.
With our solution, millions of small farmers will have access to an automatic irrigation system to improve their production yields, to better manage their irrigation water resources efficiently. It is also millions of tonnes of plastic waste that will be used to manufacture the devices each year. There are also hundreds of thousands of poor unemployed people who will earn income by collecting plastic waste in nature.
Our solution makes existing irrigation systems less expensive, more ecological and more efficient.
- A new application of an existing technology

We provide ecological and versatile irrigation equipment accessible to small producers and very efficient to improve yields. The prices are very affordable due to the fact that the materials are made with plastic waste
- Individual consumers or stakeholders (B2C)
We plan to involve local authorities and environmental organizations to subsidize products to make them more accessible to producers.
