Bleaglee recycles biomass waste from agricultural sector into cooking fuel as an alternative to burning coal, to combat deforestation in Cameroon. Waste includes plastics and discarded corn cob. The solid fuel emits 90% less smoke than the traditional charcoal and firewood which reduces indoor pollution. One important point is that we deal with waste minimization in communities, and waste is freely available.

Households and schools rely on firewood and charcoal for cooking. Children often skip schools and breakfast to travel long distances in search of firewood. This leads to less access to education, poverty and health issues. Also, four million people die annually from indoor smoke pollution caused by using firewood and charcoal for cooking and smoke pollution causes respiratory and eye problems. Our stoves emit 90% less smoke than traditional ovens and the stoves can easily be carried outside to prevent the effects of indoor air pollution on the lungs of cooks
