Transforming waste, empowering communities.

About us

We are innovating solutions for waste challenges that enhance a circular economy while creating jobs and a healing workplace for at-risk Populations. Takataka (meaning “waste” in Swahili) is providing a recycling service that currently does not exist, creating income opportunities for the marginalized, and reducing environmental and health hazards in places where waste is currently burned or littered. We are developing ground-breaking technology to safely process plastic waste in Uganda, changing people’s mindsets about plastic waste from untouchable, dirty “rubbish” to a potential resource impacting their environment, and creating opportunities for healing for trauma survivors. Takataka Plastics employs trauma survivors and promotes tangible healing through meaningful work and a supportive workplace community. Many in Gulu have experienced levels of trauma due to the LRA war and IDP camps in northern Uganda, and children who live and work on the streets today are vulnerable to child trafficking and violence.
