Unemployment amongst the youths

We believe that plastic recycling has a large potential for green job creation along the value chain from collecting, separating, sorting and processing the waste for the marginalised in society.

 

Accumulation of plastic waste in the environment

Plastic has emerged as one of the most widely used materials across the globe. It is said that there are around 10,000 types of plastics that are used for manufacturing a whole lot of products, right from pet bottles to kids' toys and even clothes. This has resulted in a substantial increase in plastic waste dumped all over the world. Plastic waste can cause a negative impact on the environment, so we believe plastic recycling is the best way to turn plastic waste into new products using simple processes.

Lack of affordable high quality building materials.

Polysand material is a green product. We will collect, separate and recycle plastic. Our products are significantly cheaper than the concrete versions thereby reducing the cost of building without compromising on quality. Our products allow people to contribute to a cleaner environment. According to UN-Habitat, the population of Zambia is expected to reach 21 million by mid 2030. An increase in population means there will be a high demand for quality housing units. Our eco-friendly polysand products will offer cheap alternatives to the clay and cement products and also offer the significant advantages.
