Powering Uganda's
circular clean
cooking transition
Turning plastic waste into affordable LPG for households, vendors and communities — through proven recycling technology, AI optimisation and pay-as-you-cook access.
A proven recycling pathway for clean cooking in Africa
Kyuka Ventures converts end-of-life plastic into clean cooking fuel that replaces charcoal, firewood and kerosene — diverting waste from landfills and open burning while making clean energy affordable for low-income households.
A twin crisis: dirty cooking & plastic pollution
people globally still cook with polluting fuels like charcoal, firewood and kerosene.
tonnes of plastic waste are generated in Uganda each year — most of it burned, dumped or landfilled.
premature deaths every year are linked to household air pollution from dirty cooking fuels.
of plastic waste in sub-Saharan Africa is recycled. The rest pollutes our air, soil and waterways.

From plastic waste to clean cooking fuel
Using our SFRET process — Soot-Free Reactive Extraction Technology — non-recyclable plastics are heated without oxygen to form hydrocarbon vapours, then condensed into clean cooking fuel. AI optimises sorting, process control and distribution.
A circular economy for plastic, energy and livelihoods
By recycling previously unrecyclable plastic, we cut open burning and indoor air pollution — and create dignified income for women, youth and informal waste collectors across our community hubs.
