## Description

The Flipflopi is an East African circular economy movement that is taking a positive stance against plastic pollution. Their mission is to create public engagement, drive policy action, and ban all single-use plastics while ensuring that all other plastics are part of a circular economy. They have made history by building the world's first 100% recycled plastic sailing dhow. Using innovative techniques and traditional boat-building methods, they melted, shaped, and carved ten tonnes of plastic waste collected from the Kenyan coast to create The Flipflopi. This impressive dhow is over nine meters long, weighs 7 tonnes, and is clad in 30,000 flip flops. Through their strong links to ocean heritage and Swahili culture, The Flipflopi creates locally-relevant products and campaigns to encourage behavioral change and repurposing waste in local economies and communities. Join the #plasticrevolution movement and help create a world without single-use plastic.
