Kenya's beaches were filled with plastic, then they created boats with it: Flipflopi was built with 10 tons of plastic and 30,000 flip flops and sails the Swahili coast - a lesson for the world

Kenya generates an estimated 500,000 to 1.3 million tonnes of plastic waste annually. Of this, less than 10% to 15% is recycled and over 90% leaks into the environment, scattered on beaches, clogging urban drainage systems and lying away in unmanaged dumpsites.
