Kenyan startup transforms marine waste into school furniture

Twende Green Ecocycle, a Mombasa-based startup, is combating plastic pollution by recycling marine waste into durable school furniture. With over 430 million tonnes of plastic waste produced annually, a significant portion ends up in the oceans, endangering marine ecosystems. Twende Green Ecocycle's founders are addressing both environmental and educational needs by converting collected plastic waste into affordable desks and chairs for schools. This innovative approach not only reduces plastic pollution but also improves the learning environment for students, demonstrating a sustainable solution to global challenges. (One Green Planet)
