EcoAct Tanzania is Transforming Waste into Building Materials

We are a social enterprise established to address the challenges of plastic waste pollution, waste management, deforestation and climate change. We recycle plastic waste and transform them into plastic lumber. Plastic lumber is an affordable alternative to timber; this reduces the need for building materials manufactured from wood. Hence helps to preserve forests by lowering deforestation rates and decreasing the effects of climate change by preventing waste burning in the landfills. Plastic lumbers are ideal product for building, fencing and construction purposes.

Our three years strategic plan is to withdraw over 2.5 million kilograms of waste plastics from the environment and use them to manufacture plastic lumber, saving an estimated 250 acres of forest that would have been cut and same time preventing 2,500,000 kg of CO2 emissions (that would have been caused by burning these plastic in landfills) further mitigating climate change.
