Thats why we are saying:

Plastic is not just waste when we think about circular economy. It is a resource that needs to be used again and again. Deposits in Denmark are an example of this. But deposits can help even more. Maybe you don’t want to spend your deposit on a machine that only might work. Let us collect your deposit, and you help support the removal of plastic from nature in Africa.

Circular economy is not just a smart idea, it is a necessity.

Plastic pollution is a huge problem in many developing countries.

Too often, plastic waste is simply thrown into nature. Or on the street, where the rain washes it out through the gutters and directly into the sea. Here it can lie for decades and harm animals, the environment and people.

Unfortunately, swimming in plastic is not just a picture of the problem – it is reality in many places. It is neither nice for people nor animals, and the environmental and health consequences are tangible. All that plastic is honestly too bad. Action is needed, and it is urgent.

Your pledge can make a real difference.

When you donate your empty bottles and cans, we use the money to finance the collection of plastic, especially in coastal areas, where, if it is not collected, it ends up in the ocean.

Here’s how it works:

-We organize and pay for the plastic to be collected.

-We collaborate with companies that buy the plastic and recycle it into new products.

-It creates local jobs and gives people an income – while we fight plastic pollution together.

-Funds are generated by selling the plastic that is collected, so your contribution is effectively a catalyst.

And that’s just the beginning.
A lot is needed to solve the plastic problem, and every small step counts. It requires persistence and a great deal of joint effort to remove all the plastic. We have several projects in the pipeline, also with the direct involvement of local people. Together we can do more.

We are also part of MAG-Make Africa Green, which brings together green projects.

We have seen the consequences in Africa with our own eyes. It is actually our personal driving force to take action and do something.

Every year, around 8 million tons of plastic reportedly end up in the ocean. Microplastics are found in almost everything by now. The latest is supposed to be breast milk.

Microplastics can, among other things, come from the fish and crustaceans we eat from the sea. It is high time we stopped plastic from ending up in nature.

This requires us to stand together and see plastic as a resource instead of waste.

Your help helps make a difference.

Vision.

We believe that together we can create lasting change — for both people and the environment.

By building bridges between Denmark and Africa, we can solve several problems at once. We can reduce plastic pollution, protect our common ocean, and at the same time create jobs and new opportunities in vulnerable communities.

Our vision is to establish a sustainable system where plastic is no longer waste, but a valuable resource that drives local economies and development forward. When we set up collection stations and small recycling centers in Ghana, we can ensure that plastic is collected, sorted and recycled before it ends up in rivers and the ocean. At the same time, we create secure jobs and give people skills that go far beyond the project itself.

We work purposefully with the UN Sustainable Development Goals — especially to eliminate poverty, promote decent jobs and protect marine life and nature. Together, we make waste part of the solution, not the problem.

Try looking at the UN Sustainable Development Goals and see how many this project potentially fulfills.

Every time you donate a deposit bottle, you help remove plastic from nature in Africa. And it’s much bigger than that. This is a simple way to make a difference that matters.

Our hope is that the project will grow so that we can expand to even more areas and inspire other countries to do the same. Because when we stand together, we can do more — we can create a future where plastic does not pollute, but instead becomes the basis for new opportunities and a healthier environment for everyone.

We are happy to provide more information for schools, etc., which is also one of our focus areas in Ghana.

Who are we:

Niels Jacob Jørgensen, 58 years old.

I am an independent entrepreneur with more than 25 years of experience as the owner of companies within trade, green solutions and service. Over the years, I have had over 250 employees from several different nations and, among other things, have been behind the planting of more than 200,000 trees.

I trained as a primary school teacher, but life as an entrepreneur and job creator has taken me far and wide. Today, together with my Ghanaian wife, I run two African stores in Denmark, a company in Ghana and various projects. All with a focus on sustainability, local production, diversity and fair trade.

Through my work and close relations with Ghana, I have built up an in-depth knowledge of both the opportunities and the major challenges the country faces. In particular, plastic pollution, which floats in the streets and nature and ends up in the sea, is dear to my heart. It is a problem that I am passionate about helping to solve in practice – by creating jobs and local solutions that both remove plastic and give value back to society.

I believe that we can combine social responsibility, sustainability and healthy businesses – and I hope that Plaster.Africa can help show the way.

I have knocked on the doors of various ministries in Ghana. I have been to meetings with at least four ministers and mayors. All to get them on board with a plan for the waste that ends up in the ocean. They were always very willing to create change, but they had the principle that the Fourener would have to pay. So there was no money to be raised here. And since the Fourener himself is very poor, there is not much to be gained here either. That is why I hope and pray that this project with a deposit for plastic collection will get off the ground.

My probably worst (and repeated) experience with plastic waste is when I want to swim in the ocean in Ghana. Then you swim around among plastic bags and other disgusting things.

Here is a video from a visit I had at a landfill. They sort out the things they can sell. Unfortunately, the soft plastic is not so valuable, which is why it is not sorted. An extra payment is needed to collect it.
