Despite the persistent heavy rainfall in Nairobi and its environs, we remained committed to achieving our recycling goals. In April, we received 153,853 kgs of PET plastic raw materials and successfully recycled 135,600 kgs. While this falls short of our monthly targets, we are confident that we will rebound. #PlasticRecycling #GreenBusiness #TeamWork #CircularEconomy #PreventWaste #NairobiFlooding Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH THIN Africa MTI Investment Coca-Cola Beverages Africa - Kenya Kenya Plastics Pact KEPRO Kenya African Circular Economy Network (ACEN), Kenya Chapter WWF-Kenya Climate-KIC PREVENT Waste Alliance Hand in Hand Eastern Africa Hand in Hand International Sustainable Inclusive Business Kenya Kenya Green Economy

Transparency is key to our Business, that is why we share accurate information of the plastic recycled at Dawn to Glow International limited. Due to numerous challenges such as unstable International markets and political tensions in the month of June, we recorded one of the lowest records at the factory. We only recycled 130 Tonnes of plastic waste. The lessons we picked from the month of June will propel us to exceed our targets in the month of July, we call on all stakeholders in the plastic recycling industry in Kenya to join us as we push for a sustainable future. #Plasticrecycling #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #GreenFuture African Circular Economy Network (ACEN), Kenya Chapter | Hand in Hand Eastern Africa | PAKPRO Kenya | KEPRO Kenya | GIZ Kenya | Africa Sustainability Matters (ASM) |

It was back in 2020 when Karim Anjarwalla asked me to collaborate with him on tackling plastic pollution with The FlipFlopi Project and Dipesh Pabari. A long, sometimes frustrating, but rewarding journey of advocacy and capacity building began from that moment. Since then, our team at ALN Kenya | Anjarwalla & Khanna has expanded and remains deeply committed to driving meaningful change through relentless advocacy, legal expertise, and collective action to reduce single-use plastics across Africa. It’s wonderful to work alongside such passionate individuals like Sharon Muoki, Fenan Estifanos, and Eden Gatuiku. And a special shout-out to Faith Macharia—we're thrilled to see that plastic has hooked you! ... your impact has been contagious and growing stronger every day! A special thanks to Rosa Nduati-Mutero who is allowing all to happen and to grow even further. We’re excited to continue this mission at the @Africa Waste is Wealth Conference (AWWS), organised by TakaTaka Ni Mali, in Nairobi, Kenya, from 8-9 October 2024. Together with policymakers, business leaders, and industry experts, we’ll discuss how legislative change can address plastic pollution and promote sustainable practices in East Africa and beyond. Our team looks forward to sharing our insights and working with key stakeholders to highlight the importance of streamlined legislation, capacity building, and regional collaboration in eliminating unnecessary single-use plastics (SUPs). Join us as we explore how we can work together to build a future free from unnecessary plastic waste!

Week One of the Africa SDGs Mentorship Programme Topic: INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY TO ADVANCE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Week one of the Africa SDGs Mentorship Programme has just concluded. Our focus was on leveraging innovation and technology to advance sustainable development, particularly addressing SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 14 (Life Below Water), and SDG 15 (Life on Land) through effective waste management and plastic recycling. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Plastic Recycling: Emphasized the importance of collecting plastics for recycling or processing into semi-finished materials for other manufacturing processes. Sustainable Transportation: Discussed the use of electric motorcycles and carriages to transport plastics to processing units, contributing to net zero emissions. CHALLENGES IDENTIFIED: -Limited Processing Plants: Few plastic processing plants are available, with the majority located in Lagos, Ogun, and Oyo states. -Funding Issues: Limited funds for purchasing plastics from locals and for transportation to processing units. Low Participation: Insufficient number of people actively gathering plastics for recycling. REMARKABLE LESSON: Our attitude towards waste (plastic) disposal plays a crucial role in sustainable development. Educating the public on proper waste disposal and the importance of recycling is essential. The first week provided valuable insights into how innovation and technology can help achieve our SDGs through effective waste management and recycling. I am excited to continue this journey and explore more sustainable practices in the coming weeks. #SDGs #SustainableDevelopment #Innovation #Technology #ClimateAction #LifeBelowWater #LifeOnLand #WasteManagement #PlasticRecycling #Sustainability #AfricaSDGsMentorship

Rwanda's no-plastic policy is a bold, decisive environmental action in Africa and the world. In 2008, the country took a groundbreaking stance, enacting a complete ban on plastic bags and non-biodegradable packaging. At a time when the world was grappling with a plastic waste crisis, Rwanda's proactive approach was not just applaudable but a beacon of hope for the global sustainability community. The initiative began with a comprehensive ban on plastic bags, leaving no room for exceptions. To ensure strict adherence, Rwanda implemented rigorous border controls to prevent plastic from entering the country illegally. The violators faced substantial fines and enforcement. Beyond penalties, the government actively engaged in community education, encouraging businesses to adopt eco-friendly alternatives. Our contributors, Delight Esuikup, Winifred Ikwuegbu, Ezeja Jacia Ebubechi, and Ngozi Gabriel, gave their best suggestions to the No-Plastic Africans Future.

♻ Kenya's EPR regulations have been significant in creating a pathway to achieving a circular economy. We have been burning the midnight candle to make sure we align with the EPR regulations in place, and to achieve that, We are continuously partnering with manufacturers to provide plastic waste collection and recycling service. Productive collaboration with both local and national government agencies involved in waste management and continuous monitoring and transparent reporting of recycling efforts that demonstrate adherence to EPR regulations. By advocating for supportive policies we are definitely on the fore front to lead in promoting a circular economy while fostering environmental sustainability in line with Kenya's waste management goals. #EPR #CircularEconomy #PlasticWasteRecycling #WasteManagement PAKPRO Kenya | KEPSA KENYA | MTI Investment AB | African Circular Economy Network (ACEN) | TechBridge Invest | Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH | PCX | PREVENT Waste Alliance | Coca-Cola Beverages Africa - Kenya | GrowthAfrica | WWF-Kenya | Sustainable Inclusive Business Kenya | Africa Sustainability Matters (ASM) | Waste & Recycling Magazine Events | Alliance to End Plastic Waste | TÜV SÜD |

Challenges Ahead for the plastic recycling industry🚨 As a committed plastic recycling company, We at Dawn To Glow International Ltd are dedicated to driving sustainable change in Kenya. However, recent amendments affecting the manufacturing sector have presented significant obstacles. The removal of VAT exemptions for plant, machinery, and equipment used in the construction of plastic recycling plants poses a substantial financial burden. This policy shift not only increases our operational costs but also threatens to slow down our expansion efforts. Despite these challenges, we remain resolute in our mission to reduce plastic wastes in our environment We call upon industry stakeholders, policymakers, and the community to have a discussion that will assist plastic recycling companies in their expansions projects that will positively impact the environment. #plasticrecycling #greenfuture #sustainability KEPRO Kenya PAKPRO Kenya Kenya Association of Manufacturers MTI Investment African Circular Economy Network (ACEN), Kenya Chapter Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH ANDE East Africa GrowthAfrica Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA)
