Building a Greener Nairobi

Our commitment to sustainability drives everything—from solar-powered facilities to partnerships that plant trees and empower communities.

Our Sustainability Commitment

Urban Farming / Tree Planting

Sustainability is at the core of Voltex Commodities Limited. We divert 75% of Nairobi’s collected waste from landfills like Dandora through recycling and composting. Our facilities run on solar power, and 40% of our fleet is electric, aiming for 100% electric by 2032.

  • 75% Recycling Rate: Over three-quarters of collected waste is repurposed into new materials or compost.
  • Solar-Powered Facilities: All sorting centers run on solar arrays, reducing our carbon footprint.
  • Electric Fleet: 40% of our collection trucks are electric, with a goal of 100% by 2032.
  • Community Partnerships: We partner with urban farmers to distribute compost and work with schools to educate students on waste reduction.
  • Precious Nairobi Initiative: Planted 2,000 trees across Karura Forest and Ngong Road since 2023 to enhance green spaces.
