Electroplastication is a transformative initiative that is critical in the circular economy. With the failure of the three R’s (reduce, reuse, and recycle), Smart Afrogrics has come up with an innovation that brings about a complete change in this sector. The project utilizes plastic wastes in urban and rural areas to produce electricity by subjecting the plastics to pyrolysis and vaporization. The vapor is then passed through carbon absorbers to remove any trace of carbon dioxide. The remaining vapor is then released under a pressure of 6.3 megawatts and is used to drive turbines that generate electricity that the vulnerable and poor people in society use. The waste collection mechanism also employs a smart technology where ATMs, designed by Smart Afrogrics, are used for waste collection, thereby compensating the public for taking care of the environment using a digital currency (OKOIN). The unvaporized plastic is then used to make slabs and bricks that are used to make durable and sustainable houses for people living in marginalized areas.

Electricity is the main product of electroplastication and plays a crucial role in building technology. It offers a resilient and efficient electricity source used to drive construction machinery such as cranes and welding. The 30% residue of the group 3 polymer is an important raw material that is used to make bricks. The brick-making process involves the use of 3D technology, where molten shredded plastic residue is mixed with ground glass, cement, and sand to make bricks of different sizes and shapes. The same product is also used to make slabs to create eco-friendly, durable pavements. The product is more durable as it is waterproof and is not degraded by environmental harshness. This phase of electroplastication, where plastic residues are used to make bricks, is highly dependent on the innovation of the Gjenge Makers factory.

Technical studies of electroplastication
Electroplastication is an innovation that came about through a combination of factors and research and the practicality of the innovation. From the first phase, where ATMs are used to collect plastic waste, it borrows the technology to collect it. This reduces the use of plastic bins and bags for waste collection. The conversion of plastic waste into vapor through pyrolysis is a process that has already been tested and tried by various scientists and organizations. Some of them include Marsh and Baarin Dixit, who hold an MSc Master of Science in Applied Chemistry and Polymer. They have come up with various plastic vaporization points, depending on the type of polymer making up the plastic. This defines the foundation where the steam that runs the turbine is derived.

Climate resilience of electroplastication
Fossil fuels play a big role in the emission of carbon and GHGs into the atmosphere. Electroplastication, a clean energy source with carbon removed, offers a viable, efficient, and alternative energy source, hence making the innovation climate resilient. Most of the plastics collected are disposed of into water bodies and landfills. They are burnt in the open air, releasing the toxic GHGs into the atmosphere. Electroplastication ensures that all carbon elements are taken from the vapor, minimizing emissions.

Operational mechanisms of electroplastication in terms of:

• Energy efficiency
  With the global amount of plastic waste being over 7 billion tons and Kenya contributing over 250,000 tons of plastic monthly in terms of pollution, electroplastication is assured of a continuous supply of plastic that is the main raw material for both energy production and bricks. This contributes highly to non-stop energy production with a daily approximate of 100 megawatts from a single power station. This would mean a continuous scale-up for the next five years to meet the continuing growing pollution of plastic waste. This makes electroplastication an efficient and dependable source of energy.
• Environmental adaptability
  The presence of plastic contributes highly to climate change. This means reduced adaptability of biodiversity as well the human beings. It also reduces food production, leading to food insecurity. (UNEP) Electroplastication, an innovation that aims at making sure that there is zero plastic waste, will contribute highly to making sure that the environment inhabitants adapt to a better climate.
