At this point, he thought of making durable and affordable building materials from recycling plastic waste as this could solve both problems.<\/p><p>Green Venture has developed an innovative eco-friendly material which is manufactured from plastic waste: \u201ceco plastic wood\u201d. The products that are made with this material look and feel like wood but have much better quality and longer-lasting durability.<\/p><p>The advantage is twofold:<\/p><ul><li>Green Venture works with materials that are not biodegradable, which prevents them from sitting in landfills for a long period of time. This helps to protect the environment, in addition to avoiding local authorities\u2019 struggle with the disposal problems of this waste.<\/li><li>The products are durable, economical and require little or no maintenance. They are even weatherproof, which makes them much more versatile and useful in many different environments.<\/li><\/ul><p>Green Ventures manufactures building materials and produces furniture. Manufactured building materials are planks which are used to construct floor decking, constructing walls and fences, and housing, helping to reduce deforestation too. The chairs and other furniture produced by Green Ventures are water-resistant and termite resistant and, have a higher tensile strength than normal wood.<\/p><p>Since 2015, Green Venture has been able to recycle over 600 tons of plastic saved 75,000 trees and created up to 130 jobs to waste collectors and 8 full-time jobs. While Green Venture started its operations in Arusha, the problem of plastics and deforestation is far larger. Hence Green Ventures is looking to form partnerships and expand beyond its current capacity.<\/p><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For more information,
