The main challenge of this project is its implementation within a UN peacekeeping base located in a remote region with no formal waste management infrastructure and a precarious political situation. In addition, difficult logistics, seasonal road accessibility, and long supply chains significantly complicate the transport, installation, and maintenance of industrial equipment.

Working with UN partners, we identified that despite the complex operating environment, there was a consistent availability of plastic waste streams suitable for our processes. Unlike typical recycling projects, there is no economic necessity to make the activity financially profitable, as the primary objective is to reduce the volume of waste that must be transported out of the base, which represents a significant logistical and financial cost.

As a result, the focus is on transforming plastic waste into practical objects for on-site use—such as furniture and functional equipment, without introducing unnecessary complexity linked to market sales or profitability.

We delivered a full turnkey project, supplying a complete set of plastic recycling machines allowing the production of a wide variety of products, along with all the necessary supporting equipment to operate the workshop independently, including storage solutions, tools, and spare parts. The project includes on-site installation, commissioning, and hands-on training of local operators, ensuring that the system can be run autonomously and sustainably once deployed.

The equipment has recently arrived at the base, marking an important milestone for the project. On-site installation and operator training are planned in the coming months, with more updates coming soon.
