Ecopost is a Kenyan enterprise that converts plastic waste into construction materials, by buying plastic waste collected by locals and then turning it into material applied to various uses such as floor tiles, fence posts, or traffic signs. Through their business model, the organisation has increased income-earning opportunities for the locals, reduced deforestation, and reused plastic waste that would otherwise end up harming the environment. 

Dealing with plastic waste sustainably has been a problem in many African nations. In Kenya, plastic has been accumulated on the streets of Nairobi, Kenya, frequently ending up in lakes and rivers and harming the natural environment. In the rainy season, these large amounts of plastic waste also end up clogging drainage systems and cause flooding. 

EcoPost's technology, converts 100% plastic waste into usable, effective, and environmentally friendly lumber that can be used for anything from fencing to building and outdoor furniture. In Nairobi, groups of young people and women gather plastic and sell it to the organization. Afterward, Ecopost combines them with sawdust to create construction materials. The produced elements by Ecopost are used in the making of floor tiles, refugee tents, slums, and traffic signs, reducing deforestation as a result. The company tackles both the environmental and social problems of urban waste management, deforestation, and climate change and creates local job opportunities.

By their operations, EcoPost has generated 50 direct and 5,000 indirect jobs, repurposed 3 million kilograms of plastic waste, and protected 850 acres of land, all of which contributed to mitigating climate change and improving the lives of the local communities.
