Description
  • Value proposition

    On a mission to end waste and accelerate the world’s transition to green, circular and future- focused industries.

    EcoPlastile is a registered Ugandan social enterprise established to tackle the challenges of post-consumer plastic pollution, waste management, deforestation, and climate change while improving access to medical services. Ecoplastile allows household to use plastic plus agricultural waste as a form of financial resource in exchange for medical services. We have developed a chemical-free and energy-conserving plastic extrusion technology called “Waxy ӀӀ technology” to recycle and transform post-consumer plastic garbage and packaging materials into durable and long-lasting plastic timbers (lumbers) and other building hardware. Plastic timbers are affordable alternatives to wood timbers, hence reduces the need for building material manufactured from wood, helping to preserve forests, cut down on deforestation, and further mitigation of climate change. The plastic timbers which are ideal products for building, construction, and furniture making are normally made in 10ft on average and shaped either round or square.

    Vision Statement:
    The company’s vision is “A Sustainable Green Africa, Free from Poverty, Unemployment and Indecent Housing”.

    We provide Durable, Affordable and eco-friendly alternatives to wooden timbers and other building hardware, whilst creating green jobs, reducing waste pollution, deforestation and the effects of climate change while improving public health”

    EcoPlastile uses 100% recycled post-consumer waste to manufacture very durable, affordable, and aesthetic plastic lumbers and other environmentally friendly building material solutions for application ranging from fencing, furniture making landscaping, roofing, and other building purposes. Ours is one of the most low cost and environmentally sensitive products in its industry today.
