Trashy Bags is a social enterprise based in Accra, Ghana that makes recycled eco-friendly bags and gifts from plastic trash. We employ over forty local people to collect, clean and stitch plastic trash in the form of sachets that have been previously used to contain drinking water and other drinks, into fashionable and useful bags and other products. It was started in 2007 and has so far collected over 20 million plastic sachets. These are used for bags and designer products. This has reduced paper Trash in Ghana over the years.
