Founding Story: What was the spark that led you to start your project? What was the "Aha!" moment that led you to get started and see the potential for this to succeed?
I witnessed a flood incident at an environment in Ijebu Ode, the flood claimed many houses and shops. The flood was caused by the drainage blockage with Pep bottle that hindered the easy flow of water. Then I got the idea that if Pep bottles are properly collected, it can still be recycled to make money.

Project Summary: Describe your project in one sentence
Pep bottles are not properly disposed, rather it is dropped around and it liters the environment. It causes drainage blockage both in the school environment and community. When drainage are blocked, flood diverts and cause gully-erosion which depletes the road and prevent easy road accessibility. My group has decided to collect Pep bottle wastes and recycle it into useful materials like: 1. Key-holder 2. Beautification materials for the school environment 3. Flower vase
