The Three Phases of CLT
Consumer-Led Transformation follows a strategic three-phase approach to build a culture of responsible waste management and circular economy participation across Kenya.
Awareness
"Put it in a bin"
Building foundational awareness about proper waste disposal practices. This phase focuses on educating consumers about the environmental impact of littering and the importance of using designated waste bins.
- Public awareness campaigns across media channels
- Community engagement and educational programs
- Anti-littering initiatives and clean-up drives
- Strategic bin placement in public spaces
Segregation at Source
"Put it in the right bin"
Advancing beyond basic disposal to teach consumers how to separate waste at the point of generation. This phase empowers households and businesses to sort recyclables, organics, and general waste correctly.
- Color-coded bin distribution and training
- Household waste segregation workshops
- Material identification and sorting guides
- School and workplace segregation programs
Affinity for Recycled Products
"Choose recycled or recyclable products"
Creating demand for circular economy products by encouraging consumers to actively choose recycled and recyclable items. This phase closes the loop by making sustainable consumption the preferred choice.
- Eco-labeling and product certification support
- Green marketplace and vendor partnerships
- Consumer incentive and rewards programs
- Sustainable lifestyle advocacy campaigns
