📢 New project announcement 📢
and have teamed up to build the first plastic recycling centre for a UN peacekeeping mission. 🌍
Commissioned by UNISFA and supported by UNGSC ETSU/REACT, we designed and installed a full recycling workshop for — the UN mission working to protect civilians and build lasting peace in Abyei, on the disputed border between Sudan and South Sudan.
From collection, sorting and cleaning, to shredding, pressing, injection, extrusion and fiberizing — a complete waste-to-resource cycle, built for the people who will run it long after we’ve left.
Turning plastic waste into resources, where it matters most.
Stay tuned — more to come! 👀

With thanks to , , UNGSC ETSU/REACT, and for their ongoing support.

In 2025 we gave ourselves the challenge to do something we always wanted to try: Building our machines in Africa. This time, we decided to do it in Kenya 🇰🇪 using local materials and working with local manufacturers 🛠️

Do you want to see how that went?
And what we did with the machines afterwards? 🤔

Stay tuned for the full video! 🎥
