Ecosave Africa Limited, under the leadership of Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Mr. Daniel Wanjuki, is making significant strides in promoting environmental sustainability in Kenya. Based in Kitengela, Ecosave Africa is dedicated to reducing waste, recycling wastewater, and providing innovative solutions for a more sustainable environment.
In an exclusive interview, Mr. Wanjuki highlighted the company’s commitment to protecting the environment for future generations. “Using an eco-friendly biological formula, consisting of microorganisms that break down waste, we offer solutions to homes, offices, companies, and industries,” he explained. This approach not only manages waste effectively but also recycles water, making it clean and free from chemicals, suitable for watering plants or flushing toilets.
One of the notable achievements of Ecosave Africa’s bio-friendly waste management method is the reduction of anthropogenic methane gas production. Methane, emitted during the fermentation and breakdown of organic waste, is a significant greenhouse gas. By utilizing their model, Ecosave Africa helps mitigate this environmental threat.
Clients who adopt Ecosave Africa’s solutions benefit financially by installing permanent, maintenance-free biodigesters. Traditional waste disposal methods, such as pit latrines and septic tanks, are not sustainable. They can fill up, overflow during floods, and pose severe health hazards if they leak or burst. Ecosave Africa’s biodigesters offer a safer and more sustainable alternative, ensuring environmental protection and economic savings.
Mr. Wanjuki also emphasized the importance of individual responsibility in waste management. He urged Kenyans to segregate their waste to enhance its economic value. “In other developed countries, waste is precious and converted into money, thereby boosting the economy. Here in Kenya, the first step is creating awareness about the need to separate waste at the source,” he stated.
He elaborated that organic waste should not be mixed with inorganic materials such as plastic, glass, or other non-biodegradable items. “I’m appealing to Kenyans to take it upon themselves to separate waste and consider it their personal responsibility,” Mr. Wanjuki added.
Ecosave Africa’s initiatives are a testament to the power of innovative environmental solutions and the critical role of individual and collective responsibility in achieving sustainability. Through education and the adoption of eco-friendly practices, Kenya can move towards a greener, more sustainable future.
