Uganda
Takataka Plastics
Transforming waste and lives in Uganda
Takataka Plastics is solving several problems at once: collecting plastic waste from landfill, creating upcycled products to help build affordable housing, and creating jobs for vulnerable populations to do it.
When they heard about the lack of PPE in African hospitals, they temporarily transitioned from making construction materials to medical equipment, producing face shields for healthcare workers across Northern Uganda. They are protecting the lives of frontline medical workers while creating jobs for at-risk youths.
