Mr. Green Africa is a Kenyan company collecting hard plastics from 11 different collection points and hubs to sort, flake, wash, pelletise and sell to recyclers, including food-grade packaging.

Mr. Green Africa is a Kenyan company collecting hard plastics from collection points and hubs to sort, flake, wash, pelletise and sell to recyclers, including food-grade packaging. They were planning to scale up to a larger recycling factory supported by a best-in-class sorting hub, and decentralised collection hubs. SweepSmart supported them in the design of the new sorting and collection hubs. What's great about it? • Integration with plastics recycling for the optimum plastic waste sorting and preprocessing inputs into the recycling process • Possibility for food-grade recycling and dealing with a variety of different plastic input scenarios, from low- to high-value plastics
