Founder/Product Innovation officer, Biha Eco Venture

Cohort 34, Uganda 
Hamidu, the Founder of Biha Eco Venture, is an innovative waste reduction entrepreneur who focuses on social solutions in the waste stream to address social challenges. The company has pioneered the production of eco-friendly building materials such as roofing tiles using plastic as an alternative enabler. Planet Centered recovery solutions reduce carbon footprint through gradual green transition and produce affordable and stable-priced plastic rooftiles, plastic solar rooftiles, and eco-brix. The products are 50% cheaper than their competitors and their price is stable throughout the year as they use eggshells as the major raw material. The solar roof tiles and BiPoddi storage system are environmentally friendly, have long-lasting battery life, and fast charge technology to 100% under 5 hours. They can be connected directly to the solar roof tile for a power-generating system that enhances the reliability of electricity service and benefits homes and kids for modern education enabling them to extend 6 hours of reading at night with safe and reliable solar energy. Biha Eco Venture was among the top 20 startups competing for ten slots in cohort 3 for Africa Startup Initiative in January 2023.
