PLASTIKI RAFIKI

Plastiki Rafiki is a non-profit student-led club at the International School of Kenya which is committed to cleaning up our local environment and empowering communities to earn a living by recycling plastic through creative manufacturing techniques and product design. We build all our machines, with the help of the Open Source Plastic Recycling Community, and create all our products in the ISK Fabrication Lab, using a range of plastic molding techniques as well as subtractive manufacturing processes... Our goal is to enable the Kenyan community to use this technology to more efficiently recycle plastic. All our profits go into machine and product development, rubbish/plastic clean up initiatives, and the promotion and funding of grassroots plastic recycling workshops through the Plastiki Rafiki Network. In this way we hope to do our bit in cleaning up Kenya, protecting our environment, empowering communities, and creating much needed local employment... We have benefited a lot from..
