EcoRepel Briquettes
Description
EcoRepel Briquettes are clean-burning bamboo briquettes infused with natural mosquito-repelling plant extracts. They provide households with a smokeless, long-lasting and affordable alternative to firewood and charcoal while reducing indoor air pollution and malaria risk. The product turns bamboo waste into renewable energy, helping communities cook cleanly, conserve forests and earn income from sustainable bamboo farming.
Impact
Timeless Bamboo EcoRepel Briquettes are improving rural and urban livelihoods by providing affordable, clean cooking energy while reducing deforestation and carbon emissions. The innovation supports bamboo farming among smallholder farmers, creating over 100 direct and indirect green jobs for youth and women through cultivation, processing and distribution. Our innovation contributes to climate change mitigation by sequestering carbon, reducing charcoal dependency, improving soil fertility, reducing indoor air pollution and malaria exposure, enhancing public health and environmental resilience.
Target Audience
Our innovation benefits rural smallholder farmers, women and youth entrepreneurs in green enterprises, low and middle-income households, schools, hospitals and institutions, street food vendors and small businesses.
