ABOUT — Gjenge Makers

OUR STORY

Gjenge constitutes a community-focused enterprise striving to cater to the requisite for sustainable and economically viable alternative building materials within Kenya and the broader Continent. Our inaugural creations are innovations formulated from recycled plastics, utilized to fabricate plastic paving blocks, plastic paving tiles, and plastic manhole covers.

Our assembly conceptualized the inception of a plastics accumulation enterprise, which was intended to categorize and vend plastic waste to other recycling corporations. The realization that we were amassing waste more rapidly than it could be absorbed by the recycling entities led to a re-evaluation and alteration of our original concept. Consequently, a resolution was reached to augment the value of these plastics; thus, the idea to create alternative construction products was conceived. Therefore, Gjenge Makers was established.

We accumulate plastic waste and, utilizing state-of-the-art technologies, we process it, amalgamating the recycled plastic with sand to formulate a mixture. This concoction is then molded to fabricate our diverse products.

Gjenge Makers has carved a unique position as a pioneering manufacturer in delivering aesthetically pleasing, economically accessible, and environmentally sustainable alternative plastic building materials.

Our mission is to devise innovative solutions for the development of aesthetically pleasing and sustainable alternative construction products, catering not only to Kenya but also extending our reach across the African continent. Our objective is to supply sustainable and cost-effective alternative building materials while simultaneously generating employment opportunities for the youth and women. We are committed to fostering a culture of recycling and upcycling within Kenya and throughout Africa, contributing to environmental preservation and sustainability.
