ECOACT TANZANIA

Long description

We have developed a chemical free and energy conserving plastic extrusion technology called “Waxy ӀӀ technology” to recycle and transform post consumer plastic garbage and packaging materials into durable and long lasting plastic timbers, Plastic timbers are affordable alternative to wood timbers, hence reduces the need for building material manufactured from wood, helping to preserve forests, cut down on deforestation and further mitigation of climate change. The plastic timbers, which are ideal product for building, construction and furniture making, are normally made in 10ft on average and shaped either round or square.

Our technology is environmental friendly, that uses natural profiled waxy (from the bees) inversion in the plastic extrusion process set at different temperatures, the technology helps plastic materials of different polymers reach their melting point quickly while retaining their original stability and strength, hence low energy consumption resulting to low production costs, enabling production of plastic timber which are 32% less compared to price of wood timber. The technology converts more than 12 different types of plastics and packaging materials, producing durable, long lasting, termite resistant plastic timbers used in building and construction estimated to last more than 60 years without replacement whether used in sunny areas, marine or in water applications. We are simply the pioneer of chemical free and energy conserving plastic extrusion technology in Africa.
