About Regen Organics by Sanergy
Regen Organics by Sanergy is a leading social venture headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya. The organization operates one of East Africa’s largest organic waste recycling plants, utilizing a circular economy model to transform urban sanitation and organic waste into valuable products such as insect-based protein for animal feed, organic fertilizers, and biomass fuels.
Since launching operations in 2011, Regen Organics has processed tens of thousands of tonnes of residual organics each year. Its agricultural inputs have reached farmers across more than 40 counties in Kenya, contributing to improved crop yields, healthier soils, and increased farm income. The organization’s work also generates significant environmental benefits—offsetting thousands of tonnes of carbon emissions annually.
With ambitious growth plans, Regen Organics aims to scale its impact across Africa and Asia. Its long-term vision is to safely process one million tonnes of organic waste and offset over 500,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually within the next decade.
Recognized globally for innovation and social impact, Regen Organics has received accolades from the Gates Foundation, Fast Company (as one of the most innovative companies in the world doing social good), the Earthshot Prize (as a finalist), and the Food Planet Prize for its circular economy approach.
