Recycling in Nairobi
Steve Daniels has a great post at Analogue/Digital about Nairobi's Industrial Area. "Essential to the Industrial Area’s thriving activity, and indeed a
critical differentiator from rural jua kalis, is an equally thriving
materials infrastructure. To sustain the manufacturing of so many
diverse products, a separate industry has emerged for raw materials,
both recycled and new."
"Working with scrap material presents new design challenges. Flexibility is critical when ideal parts are not always available."
