Ogechi’s innovation is the repurposing of waste plastic, which can have very damaging effects on the environment. Existing disposal methods such as dumping and burning pollute the world's oceans and release harmful CO2 into the atmosphere.
This innovation makes use of plastic waste in Nigeria to make a plastic lumber material that can be processed and used to create furniture. This initiative provides cheap furniture and educational facilities for use in under-resourced primary and secondary schools.
