23F-Practical Action - Circular Economy for Household Organic Waste (Kenya)

About this project

The objective is to create a commercially viable circular economy model, for household organic waste, that reduces GHG emissions, improves household waste services and transforms the lives of informal waste workers. This supports Kenya’s Vision 2030, which highlights waste management for ensuring “environmentally secure urban environments” and Kenya‘s UNFCCC commitments to reducing emissions from waste. In line with the Sustainable Waste Management Act 2022, it will create a partnership model for household organic waste, which makes up over 60% of municipal waste and is currently un-valued, un-collected, and a source of pollution. The model will improve incomes, working conditions and create new jobs in waste. The resulting organic compost and animal feed will support regenerative agriculture that in turn provides food to the urban population.
