Celebrating 8 Years of Recycling Plastic and Changing Lives 🙌🏿
This September, Eco Brixs celebrated a huge milestone—our 8th birthday! 🎂 From humble beginnings in Andy Bownds’ back garden, we’ve grown into a recycling factory with 100 staff and a programme spanning southern Uganda. Along the way, we’ve created jobs, reduced plastic waste, and now—been nominated for Uganda’s Social Enterprise Award! 🏆
