According to the Ministry of Ecology, Kazakhstan generates 4.5 million tonnes of municipal solid waste annually, 16% of which is plastic. The volume of plastic waste continues to grow each year, yet the country’s recycling capacity remains insufficient. Almaty resident and social entrepreneur Daniyar Bakimov has found an effective solution: his Rocket Plastic project collects and recycles plastic, turning it into furniture and household items. Last year alone, the project successfully processed over 20 tonnes of plastic.
