Our Impact
Why It Matters
Impact That Reaches People and the Planet
Giplast Kenya is more than a recycling plant. Every kilogram processed keeps plastic out of rivers and dump sites, supports collectors and local families, and supplies manufacturers with responsible raw materials.
From Murang'a outward across five counties, we combine environmental stewardship with steady employment, education, and community partnership-proving that sustainability and economic growth can move together.
People & Livelihoods
Community & Employment
Environmental sustainability and economic empowerment go hand in hand at Giplast.
Direct Employment
We employ a manager, caretaker, driver, and more than 13 workers in sorting, collection, and sales-most drawn from the Murang'a community.
Collector Livelihoods
Informal collectors and waste vendors across Murang'a, Kirinyaga, Nyeri, Embu, and Laikipia earn consistent income through our organised collection network.
Educational Hub
Schools and institutions visit our facility for guided tours on recycling, the circular economy, and environmental conservation.
Community Initiatives
We support local development-including fundraising for community infrastructure such as the area police station.

Our work prevents thousands of kilograms of plastic from entering rivers, open dumps, and natural ecosystems every week.
