What an innovative recycling business

We all know what plastic waste is causing to the environment. The plastic sachets are choking our draining systems, specifically, in Africa. The Local authorities try to educate people in their communities how to dispose of these plastic waste in vain. The battle is still on but with a new strategy. A social enterprise has designed an innovative way of using recycled plastic sachets to produce bags.

Trashy Bags has collected over 20 million plastic ice cream, yogurt and drinking water sachets from the streets of Ghana and is transforming them into stylish and fashionable bags. By so doing, Trashy Bags is contributing in cleaning up the environment and creating employment to the youth.

  Trashy Bags provides motivation to people in Africa to refrain from littering their communities and to dispose of trash responsibly. They motivate people without steady income to be rewarded for cleaning up their environment and collect plastic waste for recycling
