The project has created a dynamic plastic waste value chain between the local community and tourism industry. This created jobs for recyclers and part-time income for the community beach-cleaning teams, and provides an environmental service to hotels. The project now plans to expand its operations to the larger neighboring coastal towns of Malindi and Kilifi, targeting a population of more than 400,000 people along a 70 km stretch of coastline. All hard plastic waste is machine crushed at Eco-World Recycling in Watamu. The facility is operated by the project and it also acts as waste management training and education center. The main aims of this project are: 1. To further develop project waste management priorities, with a focus on prevention, reuse, recycling and up-cycling of plastic waste materials and including marine litter. 2. To further develop community based plastic recycling enterprises, employment opportunities and income benefits related to circular economy activities. 3. To replicate the project model in other coastal resort towns. 4. To strengthen and develop circular economy partnerships and collaborative processes between civil society, the government and the private sector. 5. To create public awareness of plastic waste and marine litter pollution.
