This photo taken on January 30, 2013, shows a worker at the Eco-post Recycling company factory in Nairobi standing next to rigid plastic poles made from recycled plastic which can be used as an alternative to wood in fencing and construction.The city of Nairobi generates over 2,800 metric tonnes of waste every day, 20% being plastic. Most of this is disposed off crudely resulting in heaps of garbage littering streets and open fields. In addittion, 222,000 acres of Kenya's main water catchment forest, the Mau, has suffered tremendous loss as demand for timber has soared due to the rapidly growing housing market.
