01 / What we do
An industrial raw material, made where the plastic is lost.
PET bottles in Boma and Kongo Central end up in streets, drains and the river. Tembo Green buys them, sorts them, washes them and delivers them to industry as clean, dry, consistently sized flakes.
Local value added
A recycled material made in Kongo Central for Congolese customers first, then regional ones.
Jobs and skills
Local hiring first. Training in sorting, equipment operation, quality control, maintenance and safety.
