Sanergy Inc.

ongoing

Sanergy is aiming to build healthy, prosperous communities by making hygienic sanitation affordable and accessible throughout Nairobi’s informal settlements. Sanergy converts waste to useful end-products such as fertilizers, animal feed and biogas. With funding provided by Finnfund, the company is expanding its activities in Nairobi and other parts of Kenya. To produce the fertilizer, Sanergy co-compost waste with sawdust, other carbon sources and effective micro-organisms, which eliminates pathogens. Then, the compost is let to mature in windrows. Once ready, every batch of fertilizer is tested by third parties to ensure compliance with World Health Organization standards. To produce the insect-based animal feed, Sanergy has a colony of Black Solider Flies, whose larvae consume organic waste, removing the pathogens and converting the waste into protein. Boiled and sun-dried to eliminate any pathogens, the larvae make a sustainably produced, nutrient-rich protein input for animal feed. 100% of the waste is safely treated.
