Behind his family home in Bariga sat a small, rough, makeshift space—barely more than an open shed patched together with wood and zinc sheets. Most people wouldn’t look at it twice. But for Amidu, it became his very first innovation studio. With only a few basic tools and a burning drive to experiment, he spent countless nights melting, molding, stitching, and shaping waste into new prototypes. Many attempts failed; some caught fire; others broke apart. But every failure pushed him to learn, adapt, and try again.

People in the community soon began noticing the young man “turning waste into amazing things.” Children gathered to watch. Local artisans stopped by out of curiosity. A few young people asked if they could learn, and Amidu welcomed them in. What started as a one-man experiment quietly grew into a community of makers—individuals inspired by the possibility of creating value from the very waste that surrounded them.

As the vision expanded, so did the impact. From that tiny backyard workshop emerged the foundation of what would become PlastiBuild Creative Solutions Limited—a climate-tech startup committed to sustainable manufacturing, waste-to-energy innovations, green skills development, and circular economy solutions.
