Plastic waste pollution in Kenya poses a serious threat to aquatic life. 14 million metric tons of plastic end up in the oceans and lakes every year. We collect washed up plastic waste in lakes and oceans and upcycle it into affordable and efficient solar powered freezers for fish preservation.
25Million fish farmers in Kenya lose 60% of their harvest between the point of harvest and the point of consumption. Lack of refrigerated transport also makes it difficult to move produce to markets quickly. The spoilt produce is dumped in to the seas and oceans and increases CO2 emissions.
We provide reliable and efficient solar powered cold storage and logistic solutions to aquaculture farmers.
The most notable competitor is Keepit cool. Our competitive advantage is providing complete farm-to-market service for fishing communities and fish traders. We also link them to better priced markets, modern fishing equipment and access to finance to grow their business.
