Toolmaker

Company Description

Miniplast Ltd. is a Ghana-based company specializing in plastic product manufacturing and recycling. Founded in 1988 as a family-owned business, Miniplast has built extensive expertise in plastic injection and blow molding, utilizing both virgin-resin materials and recycled plastic pellets. Today, the company manufactures and exports a wide range of plastic products for commercial, industrial, and household use.

In 2020, after years of careful planning, Miniplast launched its plastic recycling business unit. Responding to the urgent challenge of plastic pollution, Miniplast has continuously expanded its recycling capacity, diverting thousands of tons of plastic waste from landfills and waterways since the unit’s inception.

​

In July 2023, the Norwegian Investment Fund for Developing Countries (Norfund) invested in Miniplast to support its growth in both manufacturing and recycling. This investment facilitated the acquisition of advanced manufacturing equipment, enabling Miniplast to expand its product offerings. Additionally, Norfund’s support has allowed the company to enhance its recycling capabilities, increasing capacity to 1,500 tonnes per month. By substituting imported plastic resins with locally sourced recycled materials, Miniplast can reduce production costs and further its commitment to environmental sustainability.
