The Problem

The improper disposal of plastic waste poses a significant problem in Kampala, as highlighted by NEMA
(National Environment Management Authority). Each day, 28,000 tons of plastic waste are freely
disposed of without a functional garbage disposal system in place. This results in less than half of the
plastic waste being collected, leaving 51% uncollected and scattered on the ground. Shockingly, only 1%
of the plastic waste undergoes formal recycling. As a consequence, vast quantities of plastic end up
being haphazardly discarded in open environments or burned, leading to severe health and
environmental hazards.
