Impact & ESG

Public KPIs, not a narrative

TakaPlast’s impact is a measurable consequence of its industrial model. We publish the numbers — projections before start-up, actuals as soon as they exist.

Schematic map of collection flows into the plant, with tracking indicators
Collection flows converge on the plant, every indicator tracked.
CO₂ avoided / yr, at steady state
12,159 tCO₂eq
LCA being recalculated on floor-scenario volumes, PET line included
Direct jobs and formalised co-operators
not published
Headcount under arbitration, published before opening
Waste processed / day
80.76 t
Target at full capacity
Material and energy recovery
≈ 90%
89.5% at the floor, 90.5% at target
Before opening, these values are full-capacity targets, labeled as such. They will be replaced by real measurements at start-up — never mixed.
The balance is not zero and will not be: 3,095 t/yr of residues under the floor scenario, sent to a contracted disposal channel. PET also falls within the scope of the life-cycle assessment being recalculated — the carbon figure above is the referential’s, not a consolidated value.
SDGs addressed
ODD 8 · Decent work ODD 9 · Industry & innovation ODD 11 · Sustainable cities ODD 12 · Responsible consumption ODD 13 · Climate
Alignment: National Waste Management Strategy (DRC) and the Paris Agreement — nationally determined contribution.
Gold Standard carbon certification
Targeted after site start-up. No carbon credit is sold or announced before certification.
