ReCreate

Thank you so much for such recognition!

NAWASA congratulates Mrs. Chrysler Benjamin, the wife of Employee Stephen Benjamin, one of the winners of the Eastern Caribbean Greenpreneurs Business Plan Competition.

'Coleen' as she is affectionately called by the NAWASA family, presented a business called 'Recreate' which aims to create new products from plastic waste and minimize the production of new plastic using virgin materials that can otherwise be conserved and encouraging responsible consumption.

The Business Plan Competition provided green startups the opportunity to demonstrate their growth through the Incubator Programme and to compete for grant awards. Beyond the funding, the competition is an opportunity for startups to showcase their business idea and gain experience in compiling their green business plans and pitch decks. Fifteen entrepreneurs participated in the competition and the top nine were selected by the judges.

The competition was judged by an esteemed panel of business and sustainable development experts from across the Caribbean region. Each entrepreneur was evaluated on five criteria: Business Pitch (Video Pitch & Pitch Deck), Social Lean Canvas Business Plan, Financial Model, Theory of Change, and Greenpreneur Learning.

Congratulations 'Coleen' we are super proud of you and look forward to your journey ahead in this industry. Let's celebrate Mrs. Benjamin.
