Waxy II Technology (Environment, Energy and
Water) By Christian Mwijage (Tanzania.)Christian Mwijage is a social entrepreneur with a strong
background in Project Design and Business Management.
This, coupled with his passion for the environment, recycling
and green living led to the establishment of Eco Act Tanzania.
A for‐profit social enterprise, Eco Act addresses the
challenges of urban waste management, plastic pollution,
deforestation and climate change.
Every year, more than nine million tonnes of plastic garbage
ends up in the ocean causing a major threat to marine life and
people. Christian’s innovation recycles and transforms post-
consumer waste plastic into durable and environmentally
friendly plastic lumber using a chemical-free and energy
conserving technology called “Waxy ӀӀ technology”.
Plastic timber is an affordable alternative to wood timber and
can be used for building, construction and furniture
production. This technology has the potential to counter
environmental degradation, preserving forests, cutting down
on deforestation and mitigating the effects of climate change.
