What is PM2.5?
PM2.5 is the international standard used to measure some of the most harmful forms of air pollution. These particles are about 30 times smaller than a human hair and can travel deep into the lungs and bloodstream when inhaled.

What if Ghana turned plastic waste into school desks and jobs?
β»οΈ Senegalβs Deekali Project transformed 5,000 tonnes of plastic into 2,200 desks while reducing open burning.
The opportunity exists here too. Waste-to-value can work at scale.
