We are leading the way in sustainable development in Africa, having collected & upcycled approximately 20million plastic sachets since 2007. Plastic sachets have become a big problem across Africa because of the lack of recycling initiatives and waste management infrastructure. Each month nearly 200,000 plastic sachets are collected and brought to Trashy Bags Africa by a network of people who each

obtain an income from their efforts. We employ over forty local people to collect, clean and stitch plastic trash into fashionable and useful bags and other products.

We were delighted to see Trashy Bags featured at PackJam 2026, thanks to the incredible team at .

Our newest products, including our lanyards and classic pencil cases, were showcased in the hands of students throughout the event. It was especially inspiring to see so many people wearing unique, multicoloured lanyards made from fabric off-cuts, each one telling its own story of reuse and creativity.

Moments like this highlight the power of design, education and sustainability coming together. Thank you to everyone involved for supporting our mission and giving new life to materials that would otherwise go to waste.

We are proud to be part of a community that is shaping a more sustainable future.

What an inspiring visit! 🌍♻️

Last week we welcomed 32 amazing students from Freedom House International School to Trashy Bags. They came ready to learn about recycling as part of their school curriculum and left ready to make a difference in their communities.

The students discovered how waste can be transformed into useful products and why recycling matters for our environment. But more importantly, they embraced a powerful message they will carry forward as young ambassadors for change:

“Learn not to throw away, learn not to burn.”

Their curiosity, energy and enthusiasm reminded us why education is such an important part of what we do. The future of our planet is in good hands! 🌱

Today we say a heartfelt thank you and congratulations to Alima as she begins a well-deserved retirement. 💚

Alima joined Trashy Bags back in 2008, at a very early and formative stage of our journey. From those humble beginnings to where we are today, she has been part of our story every step of the way. Her commitment, resilience and quiet strength have helped shape Trashy Bags into what it is now, and we are deeply grateful for the many years she dedicated to our team.

Alima is a proud mother of four children, Yaoza, Hindu, Jamal and Salim, most of whom are based in Kumasi, where she will now be joining them as she starts this new chapter of life.

Alima, thank you for everything you have given to Trashy Bags over the years. We wish you every happiness, good health and joy in your retirement. You will always remain part of the Trashy family. 💚♻️
