About the Company
Regen Organics is
an industry leader in regenerating agriculture, cities and communities. We
implement a circular economy model to sustainably manufacture regenerative
insect feed for animals, various organic fertilizers and ecofuels for use in
fast growing emerging markets. Our technologies and professional logistics
network are developed in-house to safely collect and transport residual
organics generated in cities and their environs for upcycling into various
regenerative products. We operate the largest organics recycling plant in East
Africa. Watch here!
Operational since 2011, Regen Organics
collects and treats over 50,000T of residual organics per year, and
successfully sells its agri-inputs to farmers in over 40 counties in Kenya, who
see improved yields and increased incomes. To date, nearly 6,000 farms have
adopted regenerative farming. Our work is also pioneering climate action in
Africa – we offset nearly 50,000T of carbon per year and we have big expansion
plans to scale this impact. Our goal is to expand across Africa and Asia,
safely processing 1,000,000T a year of waste and more than 1,000,000T of carbon
emissions offsets per year in the next decade.
For our work, we have been recognized by Fast
Company as one of the 10 most innovative companies in the world doing social
good and one of the 10 best companies in Africa, by EarthshotPrize as a Finalist building a
waste free world, and by the Food Planet Prize for our
innovative circular economy approach.
