Nairobi, Kenya – It’s a typical day in a Nairobi neighbourhood. As the sun beats down on dusty streets, children are playing and market traders are shouting out their best prices. As you walk past brick homes and corner shops, something catches your eye – a pile of plastic bottles, bags and wrappers.
This is the end result of a day’s consumption, tossed carelessly aside. Plastic waste here is part of daily life.
