We didn't build OnePlastic to be another disposable lantern.
We built it to be a lantern you can use, repair, maintain, and pass on.
With a strong locally crafted wooden body, a leather handle, recycled-plastic waste components, replaceable internal parts, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, OnePlastic brings together durability, practical design, affordability, and sustainability.
The story
From Waste Plastic to Light
What if something we throw away could become something that helps us see?
Every OnePlastic Lantern gives discarded plastic bottles a second life.
The waste plastic is transformed into the lantern's distinctive light diffuser — turning a material that could have become environmental waste into part of a product designed for years of use.
Everyday use
One Lantern. Multiple Ways to Use It.
OnePlastic is designed to fit into everyday life. Use it:
- On a desk while studying or reading
- As a portable torchlight
- Hanging from the ceiling or another elevated point
- At home during power outages
- In shops and small businesses
- While camping or backpacking
- As part of an emergency or survival kit
- Outdoors and on the go
Its compact design makes it easy to carry while its sturdy construction is made for demanding everyday use.
Lighting modes
Light Your Way, Your Way
OnePlastic gives you control over your lighting experience. It features three lighting modes:
White Light
Brighter, clearer illumination for reading, working, and everyday tasks.
Warm + White
Combines both light sources for maximum brightness.
Touch-and-hold dimming
The lantern also features continuous brightness adjustment. Simply touch and hold the control to adjust the brightness. Release your finger and touch-hold again to change the brightness in the opposite direction.
You can choose the level of light you need instead of being limited to only "on" or "off."
Battery & runtime
Designed for Long-Lasting Light
OnePlastic uses a 2,000 mAh, 3.7 V lithium-ion battery. Depending on the brightness and lighting mode, it provides approximately:
As the battery approaches the end of its available charge, brightness gradually decreases.
-
Warm or White — full brightnessUp to 13 hours
-
Warm + White — full brightnessUp to 6 hours
-
Low brightness50+ hours
Actual runtime can vary depending on battery condition, operating temperature, brightness level, and usage.
Charging
Rechargeable Wherever You Need It
OnePlastic is designed with a 5 V charging input at up to 2 A. You can recharge it using:
- USB power adapters
- Power banks
- Generator power through a USB charger
- Grid electricity through a USB charger
- Compatible solar charging systems
A solar panel can also be used to charge the lantern when paired with a suitable charging setup.
A red charging indicator illuminates when the lantern is connected to a charging source.
Repairable by design
Built to Be Repaired — Not Thrown Away
This is one of the things that makes OnePlastic different.
When many inexpensive lanterns develop a fault, they are simply abandoned, thrown away, or left unused in a corner.
We believe products should have a longer life.
OnePlastic is designed so that key components can be replaced rather than forcing you to throw away the entire lantern.
If the battery reaches the end of its service life, the battery can be removed from its battery compartment and replaced with a suitable replacement battery.
Other replaceable components are also available through OneGrid Energies, subject to availability.
A fault shouldn't automatically mean the end of the lantern.
Made in Nigeria
Made Locally. Designed for Real Problems.
OnePlastic is a product born from a simple idea:
local problems deserve practical local solutions.
The lantern is locally assembled using materials and craftsmanship available in Nigeria, while selected electronic components are sourced internationally to achieve the required functionality and reliability.
Its wooden body and locally produced packaging and leather handle reflect our commitment to local production and craftsmanship.
The diffuser also incorporates recycled plastic waste, giving discarded plastic another useful life.
Durability
Built Tough
The OnePlastic body is made from solid wood, giving it a distinctive combination of strength, character, and durability.
Unlike lightweight disposable lantern housings, the wooden construction gives OnePlastic a substantial and robust feel.
Made to last
A Lantern You Can Keep
We are not interested in creating products that are used for a short period and then discarded.
We want to create products that stay useful.
Products that can be repaired.
Products whose parts can be replaced.
Products that can move from one person to another instead of becoming waste.
That is why we think of OnePlastic as more than a lantern.
It is a companion for everyday life.
Buy one. Use it. Maintain it. Repair it. And when the time comes, pass it on.
