About Company

Ecoplast Tech will manufacture affordable eco-friendly paving stones from 95% recycled plastic waste and rice husks and straws for use by estate developers and homeowners. We contribute to sustainability and circular economy practices that helps rice farmers earn 25.9% more from the sale of rice husks and straws - an underutilized resource widely considered waste. Also, we will increase the rate of plastic recycling in Ghana, from the current 9.5%, by 25%. We will ultimately contribute to 20% reduction in carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emission.
