Recycling solutions for remote communities

Benefits for municipal government

 

 Working with plastic recycling organisations offers local governments a practical, cost-effective way to strengthen waste services while creating local impact. These partnerships bring in technical expertise, community reach, and the flexibility to pilot new approaches. 

 

  • Shares the load of waste collection responsibilities
  • Cuts down the amount of waste needing disposal through landfill or burning
  • Improves environmental health and cleanliness in public spaces
  • Supports local incomes by creating green jobs and livelihood opportunities
  • Enables data-sharing, which can improve efficiency of other waste services
  • Informs local policy with real-world evidence and tested models

  How the Flipflopi did it...

At Flipflopi, our collaboration with Lamu County has shown how joint efforts can lead to cleaner environments, greener jobs, and stronger policy. We’ve become a learning hub for other counties and were included as a positive case study in Lamu Municipality’s Solid Waste Management Policy – proof that community-led innovation can shape local government planning.
