EcoAct
Transforming plastic waste into building materials
EcoAct a green social enterprise established to address the challenges of post consumer plastic pollution, waste management, deforestation and climate change.
We use our innovative plastic extrusion technology to recycle and transform post consumer waste plastics into durable and long lasting plastic lumbers. Plastic lumbers are affordable alternative to timbers, hence reduces the need for building material manufactured from wood, helping to preserve forests and cut down on deforestation and further mitigation of climate change.
