Kenya, like many countries, faces a formidable challenge: plastic pollution. Each year, more than 966,000 metric tonnes of plastic waste are generated in the country, according to the Unep Sustainable Manufacturing and Environmental Pollution (SMEP) programme.
From there, a staggering 37 kilotonnes seeped into our environment and oceans. This pollution harms wildlife, contaminates our ecosystems and poses health risks to humans.
