Silafrica Kenya to Push the Boundaries of Circular Economy in the Packaging Industry
- Written by Sandra Francisco

Muthu Ravi, CEO of Silafrica Kenya Ltd, the leading primary consumer packaging company, discusses strengths and talks about his vision to move towards a complete circular economy.
"Silafrica Kenya Ltd is a primary consumer packaging company where we manufacture packaging products for food, personal care products for the likes of Unilever and BIDCO Africa, which is one of the leading regional multinationals, as well as packaging for medical and pharmaceutical industries. Our core strength in the Kenyan packaging business is in primary consumer packaging.", says Muthu Ravi.
"Our factory is fully ISO 9000 and environmentally certified. Currently, 10% of our energy source is green and comes from solar energy. We are focusing on improving that by another 10% to 15% through solar means by the end of the year. As we drive more and more circular, we are also interested in getting our factory operations become greener. By 2025, we are aiming at having our entire factory operating at a minimum of 30% to 35% on green energy. In Silafrica, it is very important that we work on the circular aspect. We are in a transition period on how to go on a complete circular economy for the packaging that we are currently manufacturing or have been manufacturing for the last 60 plus years. In the future, we would like to move towards more recycled or locally reprocessed materials from which we want to manufacture the packaging for all of our customers", he adds.
