“Plastic pollution free world is not a choice but a commitment to life – a commitment to the next generation.” – Amit Ray In every corner of the globe , from Nairobi’s bustling markets to remote beaches, mountain rivers to our…
Plastic pollution in Kenya’s Dandora dumpsite is more than an environmental crisis, it’s a human tragedy. Waste pickers, many working without protective gear, face severe health risks including respiratory illnesses, skin diseases, and reproductive issues caused by toxic plastics. Despite their crucial role in recycling and reducing waste, they earn meager incomes and lack legal protections. Greenpeace Africa’s documentary “Dumped” brings their stories to light, calling for urgent action to recognize, protect, and fairly compensate these unsung environmental heroes.
World Environment Day 2025 brings renewed urgency to Kenya’s fight against plastic pollution, a crisis visible in littered streets, polluted rivers, and overflowing landfills like Nairobi’s Dandora site. Despite bold bans on plastic bags and single-use plastics, weak enforcement and limited waste management infrastructure mean plastic waste continues to threaten public health, wildlife, and livelihoods. At the heart of this challenge are Kenya’s waste pickers, who play a vital yet often overlooked role in recycling and environmental protection. As the nation rallies to “Beat Plastic Pollution,” empowering youth innovation and supporting waste pickers will be key to building a cleaner, greener future.
