Nelplast Eco Ghana Limited is an Integrated Environmental and Social Impacting Solutions Company located at Katamanso near Ashaiman (a suburb of Tema) in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. A company that started as a plastic recycling and production company in 2013 (i.e. Nelplast Ghana Ltd) producing poly bags primarily to feed the demand for convenient carrier bags. It has evolved to become a change agent; a social and green-environment advocate, involved in the production of the acclaimed “Eco Bricks”. This vision also sits firmly in the country’s quest to be a champion of cleanliness in Africa. The aim of Nelplast Eco Ghana is to rid the country of the gulf of plastic waste that is polluting the environment and water bodies, securing job opportunities for the local collectors whilst advancing the global sustainable agenda of the United Nations SDGs.
Today, Nelplast Eco Ghana employs 74 direct workers and over 300 indirect workers as plastic waste collectors and aggregators. Current production capacity is 1,000 units of 12x12 inches bricks (or 3,000units of 8x4inches bricks) per day, using 2,000 kgs of plastic waste daily. Apart from building houses, the 12x12 inches EcoBrick is also used in the construction of roads, car parking lots and residential compounds. Our current project under construction are 11 houses i.e. 6 units of two-bedroom and 5 units of three-bedroom, using about 18 tons of plastic waste for the 2-bedroom building and 22 tons of waste for the 3 bedroom building. Nelplast Eco Ghana has received a number of local and International recognitions and continue to contribute to the global thought-leadership fora and agenda both home and abroad, sharing its innovation on environmental impact with Governments, Civil Society and Real Estate Businesses on the need to place emphasis on issues of the environment.
