Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, generates 2,400 tons of solid waste daily, 20.0% of which is plastics. Nzambi Matee, 29, is one of the change agents who are driving Nairobi’s—and Kenya’s— ability to realize the waste recovery target.
She is the founder of Gjenge Makers Ltd., a social enterprise which uses plastics to develop alternative and more affordable building materials. At the heart of the company’s mission is helping Nairobi, Kenya become a more sustainable city.
The ingenuity of people is seemingly limitless - and this is a case in point. A young Kenyan entrepreneur, Nzambi Matee is making affordable building materials out of recycled plastics.
