BRIEF OF SUBMITTED SOLUTION


Replast Engineering Nigeria is an environmental and social impact company that addresses the issues of unemployment, climate change challenges and housing deficiency in Nigeria by using plastic waste as a currency to exchange value. We provide people living in indigent communities the opportunity to capture value from their waste which is then recycled into waterproof, heat resistant, and durable eco bricks for various domestic and large scale construction works. The company was founded in 2021 after the pandemic, we currently engage 70 people with women making the majority and have successfully removed about 200 tons of waste plastic from the environment. Our goals over the next fews years is to create behavioural change as to how waste plastic is being disposed, provide economic inclusivity for people in our community who were financially affected by the Covid19 pandemic and also innovate more products from waste plastic that could be used for construction projects. Our vision is to provide a lasting solution to plastic waste pollution through construction.
