Ep 37 - Takataka Plastics: Transforming A Ugandan Community By Employing Street-Connected Youth & Recycling Plastic Waste w/ Peter Okwoko and Paige Balcom

<p>In most developing countries, the plastic waste is burned or buried, but in Uganda, Takataka Plastics is changing the environment & the community with their cutting edge model. They have worked in the community to change the mindset about recycling so that people are aware of how much waste is created, and worked with street-connected youth to train them how to collect & sort the different types of plastic. From the recycled plastics, they are making many different kinds of things for the local economy - tiles for construction, face shields for the hospitals during COVID, and they are continually growing & improving Takataka Plastics to transform lives, the environment & the community.</p> <p>Learn more at https://www.takatakaplastics.com</p>
