YCT Plastogas Hub
The YCT PLASTOGAS HUB presents a comprehensive blended learning program hosted on this Learning Management System (LMS), designed to equip participants with practical skills and technical knowledge in plastic waste-to-resource transformation. This innovative program focuses on sustainable waste management by turning everyday plastic waste into high-value products such as cooking gas, interlocking tiles, decorative cutting boards, durable furniture, and eco-friendly briquettes. Participants will engage in self-paced, interactive online modules covering core theoretical concepts, including plastic classification, pyrolysis technology, environmental impact, safety standards, and entrepreneurial opportunities in the green economy. These online sessions are seamlessly integrated with hands-on, in-person training sessions conducted at Yaba College of Technology, where participants will gain real-world experience using specialized equipment and tools in a supervised workshop environment. Whether you're a student, entrepreneur, artisan, or sustainability advocate, this program offers a practical pathway to innovation, environmental responsibility, and income generation.
