Cleaner events.
Credited workers.
Real numbers.
We sort, divert, and account for every stream of waste your event produces — and we credit the people who do the work.

What we do at your event.
We deploy a trained, properly equipped team to your event. We set up source-separation stations, sort waste as it's generated, and route each stream to the right destination — recyclables to processors, organics where possible, residuals to licensed disposal.
You get a clean venue. Your sponsors get a credible impact report. And the workers who actually do the work get paid fairly, kitted properly, and named in the record.
That's the whole offer. No greenwashing. No vague pledges. Tonnes diverted, materials tracked, people respected.
An average festival generates tonnes of waste in a weekend.
Most of it ends up in landfill — or worse, in informal dumps where it's picked over by waste workers in unsafe conditions, with no equipment, recognition, or fair pay.
Event organizers want to do better. Sponsors are asking for impact reporting. Regulations under Kenya's Sustainable Waste Management Act are tightening. But the practical infrastructure to sort, document, and divert at scale isn't there yet.
What we hand back to organizers.
Within ten working days of your event, you receive a per-event diversion report. Not a brochure. A document.
It tells you, by stream: how much was generated, how much was diverted from landfill, where each material went, and who did the work. It's the kind of evidence your sponsors and ESG team can act on.
Over time, these reports become the public record of Nairobi's circular events economy.
Have an event we should handle?
We're taking on a small number of events in 2026 to do this properly. If you're an organizer, sponsor, or partner who wants to be part of the first cohort — write to us.
