Mr. Green Africa is a fair-trade plastics recycling company in Kenya. The company aims to close the loop from consumer to plastics manufacturer through its supply network and high value recycled plastics. The company sources plastics in greater Nairobi through its 25 collection centers, processes the plastic in its factory and sells the recycled product to plastic manufacturing companies. Mr. Green Africa can provide a quality product due to its narrow focus on three types of plastics and its sorting process at multiple points along the value chain. It then sells to plastic manufacturing companies which can use up to 100 percent of the recycled plastics as a substitute for virgin plastic.
