Located in the Southwest region, AMABO has become a beacon of innovation, resilience, and hope. ๐ฑโจ
And the Story Begins: A Vision Rooted in Partnership
AMABOโs journey began with support from the Austrian Development Corporation, reflecting a successful public-private partnership. This funding allowed the company to establish itself in a challenging market, where profitability takes a backseat to societal and environmental impact. AMABO is driven by the goal of creating lasting solutions for both the environment and the community. ๐ค๐
Innovative Roofing Solutions: Durable, Eco-Friendly, and Local
AMABO roof tiles are a game-changer for construction in Cameroon. They are made from:
- Primary Materials: Sand and a small amount of plastic polymers.
- Advantages:
- Durable: Unlike traditional clay tiles, AMABO tiles are shatterproof and highly resistant to water absorption. ๐ช
- Lightweight and Portable: Ideal for transportation, even on rough roads common in rural Cameroon. ๐
- Eco-Friendly: By recycling plastic waste, the company reduces environmental pollution. ๐ฟ
These tiles not only solve housing problems but also provide a sustainable alternative to expensive imports, making them accessible to a broader population. ๐ โป๏ธ

A Clean Environment, One Tile at a Time
AMABOโs vision goes beyond profits. It aims to educate and inspire the community to take ownership of their environment. Here’s how:
- Community Education: Initiatives in elementary schools teach children about waste management. This knowledge trickles into households, fostering a culture of environmental responsibility. ๐จโ๐ซ๐ง
- Plastic Recycling Process:
- Collection: Plastic is gathered from various sources, including garbage dumps and neighborhood cleanups. ๐๏ธ
- Sorting and Grinding: Only suitable plastics are selected for processing. Toxic plastics, like ABS and PVC, are excluded. โ
- Mixing: Ground plastic is combined with sand in precise proportions to create a high-quality mix. ๐ฅ
- Molding and Pressing: The mix is molded and pressed into tiles using high-temperature extruders. ๐ฅ
- Finishing: Tiles are trimmed, polished, and painted with imported, durable paints for a refined finish. ๐จ
This process ensures that every tile contributes to a cleaner and greener Cameroon. ๐๐ ๏ธ
A Social Impact Beyond the Environment
AMABOโs contributions are not limited to the environment. The company plays a critical role in uplifting the local community:
- Employment Opportunities: Over 90% of AMABOโs workforce comprises internally displaced persons (IDPs) from the ongoing crisis in the Southwest and Northwest regions. This provides stability and income to families who have lost everything. ๐ผ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ
- Economic Growth: AMABO stimulates local businesses by sourcing materials and hiring local labor, boosting the regional economy. ๐
