The rehabilitated Kiteezi dumpsite has now been officially handed over to KCCA in the presence of the Prime Minister, Robinah Nabbanja, the Ministers of Kampala & the KCCA ED @KCCAED. The 1,200+ gas venting and leachate pipes in its once deadliest section were made by us from 24 tonnes of plastic waste. Honoured to have worked with UN-Habitat & SWAN-Japan through JICA. #CircularEconomy #Kiteezi

Did you know that poor plastic disposal is fueling Uganda’s climate crisis? Every day, plastics are dumped in trenches, scattered in open spaces, or burnt in the air we breathe. This careless disposal block drainage systems, contaminates soils, poisons water sources, and releases toxic gases when burnt worsening both human health and climate change. Single-use plastics are the main cause. They don’t disappear, instead, they break down into microplastics that enter our food, water, and even the air we breathe. These tiny particles disrupt ecosystems, harm wildlife, and silently threaten human life. Wasteplus refuses to watch this crisis grow. We collect discarded plastics and recycle them into valuable products showing that waste can be turned into opportunity. Our work reduces pollution, creates green jobs, and inspires communities to take action.

As plastic pollution rises in Uganda, our co-founder @SKitagenda1 is turning waste into opportunity. In under a year, WastePlus has cleared over 500 tons of plastic from the environment while creating more than 3,600 job opportunities for the people. NTV: youtu.be/TZKYjyFlqOU?si.

Join us today at 10:00AM EAT as we amplify the voices of youth, waste pickers, and frontline communities across Africa in a crucial Advocacy Dialogue on the UN #PlasticsTreaty. Together, we’re demanding urgent, equitable, and lasting solutions to the plastic pollution crisis.
