Recycling plastic waste into pavement slabs and paving tiles

2019 SEED Low Carbon Award Winner Waste Management Accra, Ghana

Making more building materials from plastic waste creates value by turning waste into more resource, thus, from pollution and environmentally unfriendliness to a source of profit.

Equality is an important part of our work and we have adopted a strategy of embedding the value into everything we do.

Our demand for plastic waste enable communities to sell waste and make money by organising waste for us to process instead of littering the environment.

At a time when landfill space is decreasing, increased recycling of plastic wastes would be beneficial to Ghanaian cities and would enable the government to achieve SDG 12.5.1.

Nelplast Eco Ghana is a Ghanaian company that turns waste plastic bags, water bags, plastic film and containers into pavement slabs and tiles, which last beyond 35 years and are 800% stronger than ordinary pavement blocks. Plastic waste is transformed through an innovative recycling process to produce new construction materials.

The enterprise currently sells to private entities such as private individuals, businesses, churches and NGOs.
