PROBLEM → PRODUCT

PLASMO was born out of the desire to turn Sierra Leone’s vast plastic waste into value. Our PLASMO products exemplify our PRO-CYCLING approach, by which we identify a PROblem to turn it into PROducts and PROfit. Through our TRA$H CA$H system, plastic becomes a valuable resource, not just for us at the FREETOWN INNOVATION LAB, where we turn plastic waste into products, but also for the communities, schools, waste collectors, super markets and offices, that can turn their waste into cash, when delivering it to the FREETOWN INNOVATION LAB’s WASTE BANK. We have empowered hundreds of homeless unskilled workers, who clean the beaches from plastic, then sort it and drop it off at our WASTE BANK in exchange for TRA$H CA$H.
