Describe your project :
I. Do you know that plastic waste make up to 15% of the total wastes produced in Liberia? A study done by researchers at the University of Liberia stated that there are over 30 million bags of sachet water waste generated daily in Liberia. It further elaborated that it takes between 10 years to 1000 years for plastic to decompose. These over 200 tons of plastic waste that are generated in Monrovia alone daily. These tons of wastes have negative implications on the environment ranging from soil degradation, pollution, flooding and the dangerous gases it produces from open burning as being practiced by some Liberians. Our business collects these plastic wastes using modern technology and converts them into paving tiles and/or floor tiles and bricks for construction purposes for low- and middle-income families. Our business needs and investment of USD$ 4,000.00 to procure additional production equipment, improves our products offering and waste collection services within Monrovia and its environs. Thanks for the opportunity and we look forward in working with you all.
