\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”About the Social Business: ” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ global_colors_info=”{}”]Sobre el Negocio Social: Replast Engineering Nigeria is a pioneering social enterprise that focuses on providing sustainable and affordable solar energy solutions specifically tailored for women-led small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Nigeria. The company addresses the critical challenge of unreliable electricity in Nigeria, which hampers productivity and growth among SMEs. By offering customized solar energy systems, installation services, training, and access to financing, Replast enables women entrepreneurs to transition from expensive and polluting diesel generators to reliable, clean electricity. Before Replast became what it is today, it originally began as a plastic-for-cash program, recycling over 50 tons of plastic waste while also creating economic inclusivity for underprivileged women and children.<\/span><\/strong>
