Summary

This report highlights significant progress in plastic waste management across India and Kenya, emphasizing the vital role of formal employment in transforming discarded materials into sustainable products. While Karnataka and Maharashtra in India have processed vast quantities of waste, such as 7.95 million and 8.31 million pounds respectively, they face challenges of low formalization rates and limited artisanal income. In contrast, a Kenya-based rePurpose initiative focused on the Lamu Archipelago successfully removed 335,175 lbs of waste by employing 49 workers to create artisanal goods that benefit the local economy and preserve biodiversity, though this project is not as broadly publicized as the large-scale operations in India.
