PROBLEM
At PREYO, we solve the issue of Improper plastic waste management and low
rate of recycling which leads to marine pollutions, land pollution and air pollution
by CO2 emission at 787.5 mill metrics tons in Tanzania and Health issues like
Cancer causing death of people, acquatic livings and birds, in Tanzania over
315000 tons of plastics wastes are produced each year due to increase of
urbanisation to 35.3%, 29000tons leak into water bodies including the Indian
Ocean but only 40% is collected and of 4% of this is recycled rather the 400
million metric tons of wastes produced worldwide with only 9% being recycled.
This problem affects the life quality of people, degrade the earth’s climate and
affected Acquatic lives. PREYO is focussed on SDGs 1, 9, 13 and 14.

Reduce plastic wastes leakage into rivers and the Indian Ocean by 35050
tons of PET, HDPE and PP inclusively per year and reduce fish plastic
ingestions. By provision of 500 Free plastic wastes bins (My bottle Cages,
MBC) across coastal beaches, public and private areas as there is an
insufficiency to it, by doing so it will foster proper disposal from plastic
package product consumers and proper managed collection from the points
selected by our official waste pickers.
Reduce breeding environment for mosquitos due to settled waster in plastic
waste bottles and cans, through plastic waste collection systems by provision
of transport systems (tricycle or Guta) to the waste pickers, this is to ensure
massive waste collections
All this will lead to reduction of greenhouse gases by 21030 tons of C02 and
also reduce soil erosion that leads to poor land agricultural production
Safe and clean Recycling of plastic wastes into affordable (cheaper than any
other) and sustainable products, plastic flakes, Building materials (Paving
blocks) and Automobile rubber bushings, we are the first pioneers in
manufacturing of these products and there a market demand as people are
already reaching us for orders of our products, this strategy will help reduce

The Plastic Recycling and Youth Empowerment Organisation (PREYO TZ), is a
registered Tanzania’s youth startup aiming to reduce the plastic pollution problem
in Tanzania and Africa at large. We are driven by the urge to end the waste
pollution problems in coastal cities by turning waste into valuable commodities.
We have managed to reap the benefit out of waste by turning them into plastic
flakes, refillable block pavement (building materials) and Automobile rubber
bushings. PREYO's mission is to restore, protect and enhance the environment,
to ensure public health, environmental quality, and economic vitality. We plan to
turn every trace and remains of plastics into precious reusable
items. Economically, PREYO will harness the benefit of waste and plastic trash
where after the installation of the plastic recycling industry more than 2,000
individuals will get direct and indirect employment.
PREYO is tackling the issue of plastic pollution in rivers and beaches. These
wastes cause flooding and have a large impact on human health and the aquatic
ecosystem. PREYO is picking up the plastic waste and turning it into usable
commodities such as flakes, car bushes and refillable block pavement (building
materials), which leave the environment and atmosphere free of pollution.
We have managed to collect about 6,000 tons of plastic including both PET
bottles and PP and 3000 tons of HDPE. We have successfully raised awareness
about plastic waste in the local communities, and at the bus stands because
these are the main sources of plastic littering. Have provided 25 out of 500
plastic collecting Tricycles (GUTA) we aim in 2021. We have partnered with
NipeFagio and Zaidi recycling at various events of beach cleanup where we have
collected a significant amount of plastics thereby preventing leakage into the
Ocean and general environment. We have received global attention and have
received a Green African Global climatic African ambassador award and the
Mohamed Dewji Foundation support. We are supporting about 200 people who
are waste pickers through the purchase of plastic waste at a price of TZS 200 per
kg.

QN. How does your initiative contribute to reducing plastic pollution
and to a healthier environment in general?
(include here how you measure your impact(s))
PREYO is tackling the issue of plastic pollution in rivers and beaches. These
wastes cause flooding and have a large impact on human health and the aquatic
ecosystem. PREYO is picking up the plastic waste and turning it into usable
commodities such as flakes, car bushes and refillable block pavement (building
materials), which leave the environment and atmosphere free of pollution.
We have managed to collect about 6,000 tons of plastic including both PET
bottles and PP and 3000 tons of HDPE, which is equivalent to 3.6 bill grams of
Carbon dioxide emissions being prevented into the oceanic environment for the
last 3 years of work as we less plastic collection amounts from the ocean
beaches showing we have penetrated the community into percentage of
understanding.
We have successfully raised awareness about plastic waste in the restaurant
community, and at the bus stands because these are the main sources of plastic
littering, now people dispose the wastes into proper allocated areas where our
pickers go and retrieve them for recycling.
We have fabricated safe working Automatic Plastic recycling Machineries that do
nor diffuse toxic emissions to the workers and the environment surrounding, we
see workers in healthier working environments not coughing nor getting
respiratory sickness as to local ways before.
We have partnered with NipeFagio and Zaidi recycling at various events of beach
cleanup where we have collected a significant amount of plastics thereby
preventing leakage into the environment.
QN. How
does your initiative contribute to a circular
economy?
Our initiative is aimed at eliminating plastic waste and the continual use of
resources. Our circular system employ reuse, repair, manufacturing of new
products and recycling to create a closed loop system, minimizing the use of
resource inputs and the creation of waste, pollution and carbon emissions.
Our initiative aim to keep our products in use for longer, this is to improve the
productivity of these resources.
Waste materials and energy will become the inputs for other processes through
waste valorization. This regenerative approach is in contrast to the traditional
linear economy which has a "take, make, dispose" model of production.

QN. How is your company generating positive social and/or
environmental impact?
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
Recycling plastics helps the environment by diverting ocean-bound plastics,
reducing greenhouse gases and limiting energy consumption.
In 2016 the World Economic Forum made a dire prediction: that by 2050 our
oceans could have more plastic than fish! That’s alarming. We cannot let this happen
— we must get behind projects that divert those ocean-bound plastics.
Plastic recycling also helps reduce our carbon footprint. We base on the following
types of plastics



Polypropylene (PP)
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and
High-density polyethylene (HDPE)
The recycling of plastics can drive significant reductions in greenhouse gas
emissions and energy consumption.
In 2017, the Global Recycling Foundation reported that we use a year’s worth of
natural resources in just 7 months. New products are made by extracting raw
materials through mining and cutting trees. Recycling helps conserve important raw
materials for the future.


1 ton of recycled plastic saves 16.3 barrels of oil.
1 ton of recycled plastic saves 600 kg of green house gas emissions
Plastic recycling Avoids landfills, instead of filling dumpsite, plastic is recycled into
useful products such building materials and rubber bushings and go back to the
users, the circle continue
SOCIAL IMPACTS
In the developing country where a job is gold medal, plastic recycling provides it in a
mountain full, just looking at a typical recycling supply chain, you will see:




Drivers collecting and transporting the plastics
Sorters placing the plastics in the right spot, and
Technicians, machine operators and plant managers operating the facilities
Engineers and scientists planning the compounding process and resins
Here’s an exciting part — when people see how recycling helps everything from
protecting the environment to creating sustainable new products, it transforms the
way they think. We recently wrote about the “circular economy” where products
reaching their end of life are renewed rather than discarded.
It’s a transformative idea. We start seeing people as “users” rather than
“consumers,” and customers start expecting manufacturers to make innovative
products with recycled materials.
We are at the forefront of creating circular ecosystems for plastics. We believe the
benefits are significant, and like the circular production chain — infinite. They will
transform people’s lives and the world we live in. It’s our shared future.
Saves Money, Recycling and using plastic recycled products will help you save
money. Plastic Recycled products are usually of lowest price, our paving blocks are
cheaper than the soil and cement traditional ones.
QN: List your competitors and describe your
