Mountains of discarded plastic bottles, food containers, and packaging often end up in landfills or waterways, contributing to one of the world's most pressing environmental challenges. But on the outskirts of Nairobi, an entrepreneur is giving that waste a second life by transforming it into durable fencing poles. At a manufacturing facility in Syokimau, Machakos County, collected plastic waste is sorted, cleaned, processed, and compressed before being moulded into fencing posts and other products designed to withstand harsh weather, resist termites, and outlast traditional wooden alternatives. The initiative is helping tackle Kenya's growing plastic waste problem while creating jobs and income opportunities for local communities involved in collecting and supplying recyclable materials. Abbas Ateya, founder of Silverlink Manufacturing Limited, launched the business in 2015 after leaving his job in the construction industry. His idea was inspired by the shortcomings of conventional fencing materials.
