Trashy Bags Africa are a social enterprise company upcycling eco-friendly bags from discarded drinking water sachets that lit ... ter the streets of Ghana’s cities. We are leading the way in sustainable development in Africa, having collected & upcycled approximately 20million plastic sachets since 2007. Plastic sachets have become a big problem across Africa because of the lack of recycling initiatives and waste management infrastructure. Each month nearly 200,000 plastic sachets are collected and brought to Trashy Bags Africa by a network of people who each obtain an income from their efforts. We employ over forty local people to collect, clean and stitch plastic trash into fashionable and useful bags and other products. read more
