Opportunities for The Plastic Recycling Business in Ethiopia
Ethiopia is a beautiful country in East Africa, but several plastic scraps are threatening the environment. However, plastic pollution can also provide economic profit if we use it correctly. This article will introduce the condition of Ethiopia’s plastic pollution and how to deal with those plastic scrap.
Environmental crisis in Ethiopia
Ethiopia is an important importer of plastics for African countries. Ethiopia’s current plastic consumption is high, over 38,000 tons/year. Because of the lack of plastic recycling technology and plastic recycling experience, the plastic recycling business in Ethiopia is rare, only 30-40% of plastic waste can be recycled each year.
For example, according to statistics, there are more than 50 bottled water companies in the Ethiopian market, they sell about 3 billion bottles of water per year. In contrast. There are only about ten plastic bottle recycling businesses, and only two of them use hot wash processing to obtain higher-quality PET flakes. These two higher-quality recyclers only produce products for export.
