Takataka PlasticsTransforming waste, empowering communities



Takataka Plastics collects plastic waste and uses locally produced machines to shred, melt, and mold these materials into saleable products. The enterprise currently produces wall tiles, face shields, and coasters. Locally fabricated, the machines used are cheaper than importing equipment and easily maintained and repaired.
The enterprise designed a small-scale, manually operated machine model which helps create many jobs for unskilled, street-connected youth. This model also enables low-cost scalability.
