Who We Are
Building a cleaner Zanzibar through PET plastic recycling
EcoPro Zanzibar was created to address one of the most visible environmental challenges facing coastal communities, tourism areas, businesses, and households: plastic bottle waste. Our work focuses on responsible collection, efficient sorting, proper waste management, and the conversion of PET plastic into rPET materials that can be reused in manufacturing.
By connecting communities, hotels, restaurants, institutions, waste collectors, and recycling partners, EcoPro Zanzibar supports a circular economy where plastic is no longer treated as waste, but as a resource with environmental, social, and economic value.
