Innovation in Action: Partnering with Pheha Plastic for a Greener Lesotho

Clean Energy Meets Local Ingenuity

At Hirundo Energy, we believe true sustainability doesn’t happen in isolation it grows through collaboration. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Pheha Plastic, a local recycling initiative in Lesotho that’s turning waste into innovation. Together, we’re proving that clean energy and circular economy solutions can work hand-in-hand to create real, local impact.

This isn’t just a partnership it’s a model for how renewable energy can spark economic growth, support small businesses, and build a greener future from the ground up.

Who Is Pheha Plastic?

Pheha Plastic is a Lesotho-based social enterprise that collects, processes, and repurposes plastic waste into useful items like flower pots, rulers, earrings, and coasters. The organization also runs educational outreach programs and hands-on workshops that raise awareness about plastic pollution and environmental responsibility.

What makes them unique is their community-driven approach and commitment to both environmental and social goals values we share deeply at Hirundo Energy.

Why We Partnered

Our collaboration with Pheha Plastic was born from a shared belief: green energy must serve people as much as it serves the planet.

As we build wind farms and electric vehicle charging stations, we’re creating not only clean electricity but also opportunities to support green manufacturing, recycling, and job creation. Pheha Plastic embodies that potential.

Through this partnership, we’re:

• Powering their recycling operations using clean energy

• Showcasing recycled products at project sites and public events

• Funding skills workshops to teach youth and women how to turn waste into value

• Promoting innovation at the intersection of energy and entrepreneurship

Small Scale, Big Impact

It’s easy to think of energy projects as massive operations with little community touch but our work with Pheha Plastic shows that small, local innovations can scale impact in meaningful ways.

When a young person learns to create market-ready products from discarded plastic…
When a business runs on renewable energy instead of diesel…
When sustainability becomes a local livelihood, not just a global target…
That’s what real progress looks like.

What’s Next?

This is just the beginning. We’re exploring ways to replicate this model with other local innovators in recycling, agriculture, construction, and education. Imagine:

• Solar-powered microfactories

• Wind-powered irrigation systems

• Clean tech-enabled community hubs

With the right partnerships, we can decentralize sustainability, giving every community tools to create and thrive.
