UPMRA NEWS

Recognition sparks more efforts,most appreciative to KCCA, UMA and government stake holders’ professionalism exhibited during plastic/kaveera public awareness drives we have so far conducted. Expect more from us 2017. Steady Progress

UPMRA officials were shocked by a misrepresentation of facts, underestimation and wrong figure projection about the enormous chores of Recycling industries in Uganda a week ago.

NOTE: After South Africa, Uganda is one of top most countries fantastically executing Plastic Recycling in Africa through the global provision of 3Rs (Reduce-Reuse-Recycle)

All roads led to Makerere University today for an Agricultural trade fair themed Agribusiness for youth employment amidst Climate Change, UPMRA colors, mission and recycling also wad clearly visible for all at this 6th expo.

Our environment officer Nicholas Kiiza and other UPMRA staff are there to demonstrate to you about the amazing scientific 3Rs that are used worldwide to control plastic menaces in the environment.

The trade fare at Makerere campus finally drew to an end with students and learners from various institutions take a keen interest in mastering the recycling technology science for all plastics especially kaveera.

The amazing art and crafted products as seen in pics below out of kaveera was spot by students as a most interesting as other testified to having not known recycling methodology in controlling against kaveera and plastic in the environment.
FACT: UG has over 45 plastic industries out of which 25 are engaged in mass plastic recycling.These industries have partly contributed to national economy,job production and supportive to the largely needed value addition chain.

We did our part to disclose the rightful facts and preached the recommended global initiatives that non of us can down play.

Gallery as it happened .

Nakawa Mayor Barimwezi,RCC Kemigisha hail Pipeline line Industries for exemplary mission on plastic/kaveera recycling. The team was expressly glad about the huge green job employment, 3Rs strategy and the immense tax, utility bills contributions. Mayor Barimwezi pledged to work with these industries to further development.

Impressingly so far, schools are doing well in trying to retrieve buveera out of environment for art and craft work.
The local population was this morning involved in picking kaveera and other plastics from the park peripherals and nearby townships.

Gallery below, children display art pieces made out of kaveera. This directly supplements UPMRA mass efforts in recycling buveera.

“We pick buveera and other plastic from Environment,weave and thread them into various valuable products as you can see.” Mothers under Butabika Agro Development Organisation testified the innovation that makes them zero dependents to their husbands before Our Public Relations director in Kampala.
Enjoy#Pictorial proceedings.

The move is dubbed ” Let’s clean our Cities,Let’s harvest jobs out of kaveera/plastic Recycling to our people.”

The duo MPs,Hon.Aja Baryayanga Andrew (Kabale Municipality) also Dean of Independents in Parliament and Hon Ariko Herbert Okworo (Soroti Municipality), S.G Teso Parliamentalian’s Association were left startled with facts surrounding Recycling industries, jobs crated,the collection of buveera from Environment in huge tonnage was something they referred to as dispeakable. In pictures below MPs fancy products out of kaveera recycling in Uganda.

Hon Ajja Baryayanga Andrew the MP Kabale Municipality says his effort of establishing the the mult Million kaveera recycling Industrial Machinery there, is to ensure “A CLEANER KABALE MUNICIPALITY and JOBS FOR LOCALS”.

The Mp accompanied by Municipal Mayor Sentaro Byamugisha,councilors secured Kilengere on Kabalaga hill in the municipality as site for installation of the plant

Chief plastic Recycler/Consultant and Investor,mNaim Sabra was among the team to witness the ground levelling.

The Plant is set for operation later this month.
More than 2 tonns of Kaveera will be picked out of municipality on daily basis for recycling.
Over 40 to 60 people can be employed along the plant’ operations. Neigbouring districts such as Ntungamo, Kisoro, Rubanda, Kanungu among others can benefit from a cleaner campaingn and kaveera collection.

Mbarara has an MOU with Upmra Plastics to start a recycling plant that will ensure all buveera, other plastics retrieved from environment for recycling into useful products.

This is just after Kabale municipality started the mult million plant with a view of Keeping Kabale clean.Applause to Kabale Mp, Aja Baryayanga for setting up the multmilion plant in collaboration with Chief Recycling Consultant , Naim Sabra. A range of products can be manufactured out of buveera recycling. They include garbage bags, tree nursery tubes, construction Sheets , water pipes, trench pipes, electric conduit pipes,egg trays, home plastic utensils etc.

Over 20 industries out of 45 are majory recycling KAVEERA into a raw material for manufacture of a range of products. The multi billion complex industries in Uganda have done a great job in cleaning the environment. What is needed today is mass public awareness on responsible littering. Vast green jobs to both educated and uneducated Ugandans. Taxes and Utility billings are a great contribution to the economy.

Kaveera Recycling has helped in maintaining some Cities Clean. Watch factual visuals below.

Kamwenge women and men living around Kibale National Park in Bigodi learn how to make better use of buveera and other plastics fetched from environment. It’s now a source of livelihood, a handmade product can cost shs 80,000. Minimum at shs 25, 000. Men were also advised to start mass Kaveera collection for industrial Use.
Applause to Unite for Environment for mobilising women ahead of this nature conservation measures. All environmentalists need to emulate yr approach.special applause to North Carolina Zoo for funding you ably.
Kampala based women group members already massively benefiting from Kaveera handcrafts, were on ground to teach these women. HAPPY EID!

It’s on come witness the source of jobs and revenues. With consideration of lead KAVEERA/plastic Recyclers that voluntarily clean the environment getting it rid of plastics.

She hinted while@breakfast Meeting for Nakawa business community at UMA multipurpose hall today 28th june 2017. Honourable Rebecca Kadaga was also shown this afternoon a new strategy to recycle plastics/food waste for plastic roads construction and compost manure generation.

The new system will be supplimeting the already established system of kaveera and hype recycling technologies which have led to various products manufacturing in Uganda as seen in pics below.

The Speaker was Massively impressed

Pics:Hons. Ategeka B Moses and Nicholas Kiiza enlighten during the breakfast meeting.

Effecting positively on the psychological interpretation of ‘Littering’
Its Ugandans who litter kaveera, kaveera cannot litter itself. Knowing that everytime you throw kaveera on streets or undesignated points, you are throwing dollars/shillings
Enjoy Gallery below. Our PR/HR, Engineering and environmental officers take media through recycling processes.

The company has let it’s PR/HR Moses Brown Ategeka to represent it’s interests there.
Congrats City Tyre for Organising and offering the opportunity. Yas Marina Circuit is the United Arab Emirates’ most exciting sporting multi-purpose venue on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, FORMULA 1 ETIHAD AIRWAYS ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX and much more

She is currently the ambassador Private public Partnership under Operation Wealth Creation under the President Office Uganda. She is more determined to create sanity in what is seen as long standing controversy in plastic industries en other investments where PPP has not worked.  She was visiting UPMRA plastic factories to ascertain challenges and investment level. She hailed Chief Naim Sabra for lifting women under the multi million dollar investment.

It’s simply an exemplary school in Kamwokya a Kampala suburb.The school is neighbours to Diplomatic missions such as Rwanda Embassy and British High Commission.
The impeccables around this school would let you into believing it’s the St Mary’s kisuubi, Namilyango, Kings College Buddo arena alas it’s the famous Kitante under KCCA management.
Overall view is they practice the core principals of solid Waste management something Plastic /polythene recycling industries in Uganda has always advocated for.

Sorting at source is more important in managing General solid waste.
In Europe and elsewhere, glass, papers, plastic pet bottles, food stuff and polythenes are separated in respective litter bins for easy access by recyclers. Uganda needs a sorting at source system which will lead to more desired green jobs and other benefits.

Sorting waste,binning it in separate waste containers is what should be implemented to complete Polythenes/plastic waste recycling chain.
UPMRA had to donate some of these waste bins because you already exhibited greater character in waste management in different designated points in Uganda.
Don’t litter,bin it in that container or garbage bag along streets. Saving The environment through Science and technology.

Note: This cloth as I hold it on Rwanda air, is not the only form of plastic career bag (kaveera) inside Rwanda. It’s a non wooven bag which also exhibits dangerous threats to environment.These non wooven plastic bags are different coloured in many supermarkets in Uganda. One fact is environmentalists who rival kaveera industries after being compromised by Competitors, their hands oiled by bribes or because they are poor researchers, have promoted non wooven bags as cotton bags yet they are a bio oil product, Same raw material that produces Kaveera/polythenes, produces Non wooven bags in this plane. On my flight, I have been wondering whether Rwandas concocted ban thrives on research or propaganda.I have top scholars /scientist who say Rwanda will one day choke from these kind of plastics because all Recyclering investors don’t want to go there.
Rwanda has all forms plastic kaveera evidenced at their country’s dumping site on Nduba plateau. So its plastic recycling investors and environment cleaner policies.These stories must end because it misleads the public. That plastic bag cannot degrade in soil for over 150 years.

UPMRA has today made it clear to National Environment Management Authority to stop going to public and unleash poisonous falsy allegations over UPMRA establishments should just pick 450 Billion and compensate the industries,then think of closing them down. UPMRA’s Communication director, AtM Brown made it clear in today’s press briefing held at operational chambers in Kololo, Kampala.
Ridiculously, NEMA is banning 45 industries and paving way for 2 plants as kaveera non wooven bags which are plastic in nature and non recyclable at all.Government will loose 45 plants 65,000 jobs, billions of taxes and the fastest growing plastic recycling technologies here on the soil.Above all this economical hurting move, NEMA must prepare shs 450 Billion shillings to pay to investors as compensation.
