RECUP PLASTIK UTILE is an ecological, artisanal and civic project engaged in collecting plastic waste and transforming it into durable commodities. Waste management is one of the biggest challenges we face today due to our growing population and the diversity of our socio-economic activities. In Saint-Louis and throughout Senegal, plastic waste accumulates, which in the worst case scenario. It covers, defaces and degrades the environment, soils, beaches, shores, roads and large areas of land.
