Affordable, durable and ergonomic school benches from upcycled plastic waste
2017 SAG-SEED Award Lauréat-e Waste Management Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso

TECO2 developed an innovative material to produce resistant and long-lasting school benches. By processing recycled plastic waste and local plant fibres, the product offers price and quality advantages over classic wooden benches. The school benches are directly sold to schools and programmes or to NGOs promoting education.

Besides the production of school benches, the enterprise strives to produce and market a broad range of furniture to respond to the growth potential of this sector in Burkina Faso.
