Olamistic Olamide

Olamide Ayeni-Babajide is a computer engineer and founder of Pearl Recycling, an initiative focused on producing useful items from waste, such as tyres and plastic, in a process called upcycling. According to Olamide, her idea and passion came during a visit to the United Arab Emirates where she saw a piece of art made from corn cobs selling for hundreds of dollars. Since starting her company, she has produced several items such as furniture, home decor and ornaments from discarded and waste items. Olamide wants you to have an ‘Olamistic’ week!
