Problem
Plastic waste in Nigeria poses a significant environmental challenge, with millions of tonnes generated annually and a recycling rate of less than 30%. This leads to pollution of waterways, coastlines, and oceans, impacting ecosystems and human health.
Solution
Kaltani addresses plastic pollution by collecting and recycling post-consumer PET, PE, and PP plastic waste. The company processes this waste into hot washed flakes and pellets, which can be reused by FMCGs and plastic manufacturers. By replacing virgin plastics with recycled materials, Kaltani reduces energy consumption by over 80% compared to virgin plastic production and helps companies reduce their carbon emissions. Kaltani utilizes technology to provide transparency and traceability throughout the value chain, from point of origin to supply chain.
Target Audience
Kaltani's primary customers are FMCGs and plastic manufacturers seeking sustainable materials to reduce their carbon footprint and support a circular economy.
