KENYA IS TRANSITIONING TO A CIRCULAR ECONOMY

On the 7 and 8th of October 2021, Sustainable Inclusive Business organized the 6th Annual Circular Economy Conference on Sustainability and Inclusion. The conference was themed ‘KENYA IS TRANSITIONING TO A CIRCULAR ECONOMY.’ During the first day of the conference (7th of October), the Kenya Plastics Pact was launched, as the platform to tackle plastic waste and pollution in the country. The Kenya Plastics Pact is an ambitious, collaborative initiative that brings together stakeholders across the plastics value chain to create a sustainable circular economy for plastics. This unique multi stakeholder platform unites the most relevant brands, plastic producers, recyclers, government agencies, civil society organisations and waste pickers representatives, behind common agreed targets in accelerating circular economy for plastics in Kenya.
