Ghanaian ecopreneur uses plastic waste to build unique, affordable homes in Ghana. In this video, we talk with the sensational Nelson Boateng about building with plastic waste, his experience, processes, challenges and so many things in between. Nelson is using our plastic waste problem to solve our housing deficit and to provide affordable homes for the average Ghanaian. His journey is inspirational, his vision mind-blowing and the core of what he is trying to do really deserves global recognition.
I hope that you enjoy this conversation, appreciate his work and draw some inspiration from Nelson. It was a fantastic experience meeting him and I hope that he gets all the support he needs to grow and to do more for the environment, the country and eventually the world.

Amazing - Nelson Boteng seems humble but is actually he is a Mastermind - creating homes - creating jobs - solving the issue of the pollution of waste plastic - future plans to train others and he has Ghanaian women as the backbone - Wow. The Ghanaian government needs to truly get behind and support this work - financial support - land - equipment storage space - low cost solar power - drainage - roads. Investment in homes for people in need. This could then be replicated across the African continent - I am more than impressed.

Rather than wait on Government support I suggest he creates a savings platform with a bank where a client can save up money in 2-3 yrs and construction can begin at that time
