ABOUT US
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to empower and promote environmental and climate sustainability among young people from underserved backgrounds through plastic recycling to meet the urgent need for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
OUR VISION
EcoVironment envisions a sustainable environment clean from plastic pollution and a resilient community against climate change. This will be achieved through enhanced cooperation in waste management and climate change adaptation and mitigation, sustainable environmental management and livelihood improvement programs. Under the broader scope of climate change impacts, EcoVironment has been promoting and undertaking action-oriented waste management projects to achieve its mission.
WHAT WE DO?
Plastic Recycling
We produce and supply eco-friendly floor dallets, bricks, decorating tiles, plaque and flower pots made from municipal plastic waste. Over the past few years, our products have been recognised by renowned institutions not limited to hotels, schools, clubs, parks, churches and mosques because of their high quality and innovation. In addition to our production, we provide entrepreneurial and high-end skill training with a focus on women and young people to take ownership of their environment and further contribute their expertise to the national human development index.

Environmental Education
We are engaged in educating the general public about the hazards of plastic pollution and how it contributes to climate change and teaching them about environmental conservation. During the past three years, we have educated over 215,000 students and people about environmental conservation in Sierra Leone through seminars, community outreach programs and our Eco-Vironment school clubs established in 9 schools in Sierra Leone.
Community Plastic Recycling Training
In grassroots communities, plastic products are highly consumed because of their affordability and durability. However, the poor recycling ethos among the dwellers has forged monumental waste mountains, as seen in Makeni City, Freetown and other major cities and towns in the country, which has caused an untold environmental strain. Now more than ever, the impacts are way more sinister than anyone first thought. Therefore, We train females and young people from these underserved homes with hands-on recycling skills, environmental conservation, and waste management by turning plastic waste into wealth.
