Our Recycling Process
Step
01
SOURCING
Malindi, Kenya is near a coastal garbage gyration that is one of the largest off the African coast. It has a long-standing infrastructure as a fishing port. This makes it the perfect location for collecting marine refuse that can be recycled. In 2020, we identified the opportunity of collecting for fishermen, and as the economy rebounds expanding to sourcing plastic caught every day in their fishing nets off Malindi. We purchase today from out of work fisherman, which both keeps plastic out of the ocean, and helps to grow the local economy.

Production
Sargasso produces reclaimed ocean plastic flakes by washing, shredding and bailing the bottles we purchase from local fishermen. In 2020, we identified the opportunity of collecting for fishermen, and as the economy rebounds expanding to sourcing plastic caught every day in their fishing nets off Malindi. We purchase today from out of work fisherman, which both keeps plastic out of the ocean, and helps to grow the local economy.
Step
03
going to the market
Because of the international trade infrastructure that is being developed in Kenya, and a fast growing local market it standard plastic recycling, we are able to offer both ocean-bound plastic in a recycled form, and plastic credits linked to ocean-bound plastic sold on recycling markets.
Please reach out if you are looking for a cost effective partner in either regenerative strategy.
We worth within relatively impoverished fishing communities, buying plastic from the beach sourced from the friends and family of fishermen, and hoping to source plastic from the deeper ocean in the future by leveraging our network with fishing captains and boat owners.
