Problem: “According to a 2022 plastic pollution by country report published by the World Population Review, Nigeria was identified as the 7th largest country in the world, generating plastic waste amounting to about 5.96 million tons annually with about 70 per cent ending up in landfills and water ways”. P.E.T plastic material is commonly used in bottling table water, Viju milk, plastic Coca-Cola drinks, Lacasera drinks, vegetable oil cans, plastic goods etc. Supported by a growing population of Nigeria of over 200 million, PET materials are in abundance and litter the streets and drainage channels constituting environmental pollution and health hazard in the local community.

Unique Selling Point: Refilling is the common practice in Nigeria, allowing people to reuse their waste PET plastic bottles instead of throwing them away after use. Our Solution is to help sustain an eco-friendly, cleaner and healthier environment through waste recycling of P.E.T plastic materials from the local areas and deploying a selection of ultra modern fully-automated recycling lines to sort, crush, wash and recycle up to market top quality 99.7% purity level then grind down to raw PET flakes for large scale molding work. This is done alongside with environmental sustainability and relevant SDGs enlightenment campaigns across communities, educational and religious institutions with focus on the 3Rs: Reuse, Recycle and Reduce
