Last updated: Jun 26, 2022

Summary

Ecopost converts plastic waste into construction materials. The company buys plastic waste that has been collected by locals and then turns it into a material that can be applied to various uses, such as floor tiles, fence posts, or traffic signs. Through their business model, the organisation has increased income-earning opportunities for locals, reduced deforestation, and reused plastic waste that would otherwise end up harming the environment.
