Alex Johan Preira

Senegal (FR)

Hello, I'm Alex Johan Preira, from Senegal. I am the founder of "La Sénégalaise de recyclage". It is a circular economy company committed to sustainable development. We have been working passionately against environmental pollution for a long time and came up with a good solution for the recycling of garbage: plastic is transformed into art paintings or animals and tables are made out of old tires. Our other activities also include the conversion of organic waste into bio-fertilizer.

„Upcycling is an important pillar in establishing a circular economy. In the Global South in particular, it contributes to the preservation of traditional handicrafts, to an increase in the quality of life and creates prospects for young people.“
