The collection process
Our collection process is made up of three steps:
1. Community engagement
The Flipflopi Project runs a buy-back programme with the local community.
To raise awareness of the opportunity, we:
- Engage town criers
- Use posters
- Hold public forums (baraza’s)
- Run group engagement events
You can read more about our approach to engaging the community here. [Link to Community engagement]
2. Community collections
We organise plastic collections from mangrove and beach clean-ups, town clean-ups, dumpsite clean-ups, door-to-door collections and directly from businesses.
3. Delivery of plastic
Finally, we transport all the collected plastics to our Materials Recovery Facility, where we sort and process the plastics. [Link to Sorting and Processing plastics]
