Eco-material

We are a company specialising in agribusiness and the recycling of plastic and agricultural waste.

An initiative of Happygirl

Overview of the project

This initiative, which involves training women in recycling, was born out of our participation in the Engineering for humanity 2022 challenge organised by ingénieur sans frontière Norvège and its partners.
During the challenge, we put forward an innovative, environmentally-friendly construction solution that not only saves water and energy but also, and above all, saves sand, which is still the world’s most exploited solid resource.
As a result, we have been awarded the prize for best innovation of the year 2022 and have now decided to give priority to training women in this innovative way of building.

Objective

Give priority to training women and girls in sustainable engineering, so that they can enter the civil engineering professions more easily.

Level of progress

Ongoing research

Project timeline

Project still in course

Quantitative results

We will be training around ten women/girls each year and will be implementing the good practices introduced as part of the training.

Qualitative results

Nearly a hundred people are interested in what we do.

Financing

We mainly received technical support.
We have also received donations from friends and family.
