Diverting waste from landfills

A woman-led social impact venture is helping Nairobi divert waste from landfill through the manufacture of plastic-based building materials.

Gjenge Makers Ltd. is a social enterprise that uses plastics to develop alternative and more affordable building materials. Among these products are ‘pavers’. This is a type of exterior flooring, used to create durable pavements that are usually made from cement and brick. The business employs young people, creating work while safeguarding the planet.
