A proven recycling pathway for clean cooking fuel
SFRET. Soot-Free Reactive Extraction Technology. Converts unsorted, end-of-life plastic into ultra low sulfur LPG safe for household cooking, paired with AI sorting and process control.
From street waste to clean cooking fuel
Our feedstock comes from women's collection cooperatives, municipal sweeps and informal waste pickers across Kampala and Wakiso, diverting plastic that would otherwise burn, clog drains or reach Lake Victoria.
Every batch is weighed, sorted and traced before it enters the SFRET reactor, giving collectors fair, transparent payment and giving the fuel a verifiable circular origin.
Soot-Free Reactive Extraction Technology
Non recyclable plastics are heated in the absence of oxygen to form hydrocarbon vapours, then condensed into clean cooking fuel. Unlike basic pyrolysis, SFRET runs without soot, recovers more usable fuel and produces an ultra low sulfur output safe for household use.
Combined with AI driven feedstock sorting, process control and demand forecasting, the system gets more efficient, and more bankable, at every scale.
From plastic waste to a clean Ugandan kitchen
Our patent-pending SFRET process converts up to 92% of unsorted plastic into ultra-clean cooking fuel, with up to 93% lower greenhouse gas emissions than basic pyrolysis.
Plastic Recovery
Plastic Recovery
We intercept low value plastic before it is burned, dumped or washed into Kampala's drainage.
A network of women, youth cooperatives and community hubs aggregate post-consumer plastic, films, sachets, multi-layer packaging, that mechanical recyclers reject. Each kilogram is weighed, traced and paid for via mobile money.
- 300+ verified collectors across Kampala & Wakiso
- Mobile money payouts within 24 hours
- GPS tagged batches with chain of custody
Why Kyuka LPG wins on every measure
Side by side with the fuels Ugandan households use today.
| Fuel | Cost | CO₂ footprint | Indoor air | Cooking speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Charcoal | UGX 6,500/kg | High | Heavy smoke | Slow |
| Firewood | Free, UGX 3,000/bundle | Very high | Severe smoke | Very slow |
| Kerosene | UGX 5,500/litre | High | Toxic fumes | Medium |
| Kyuka LPG | UGX 3,800/litre | Low | Clean | Fast |
Engineered to be safer than charcoal
- ISO aligned cylinder handling and storage protocols
- Ultra low sulfur fuel, safer for indoor cooking
- Soot-free combustion with up to 93% fewer GHG emissions vs. basic pyrolysis
- Mandatory in home safety training for every PAYG customer
- Fuel quality testing on every production batch
- AI monitoring of feedstock, process and distribution
More than recycling, a circular clean cooking platform
Kyuka is designed around affordability, safety, community income and scalable industrial optimisation, not just plastic recycling. AI supports feedstock checks, predictive logistics, impact monitoring and carbon related reporting.
That makes the model stronger for investors, regulators and customers alike.
Inside the Katanga micro-refinery
Real shots from the 2025 pilot. About 20 tonnes of plastic processed per day, roughly 210,000 litres of clean LPG produced annually, and 92% conversion of unsorted feedstock validated in our internal lab.
On site LPG storage
Branded 2,500 L cylinders and bladder tanks buffer monthly fuel output before-refilling routes leave the hub.
Burner flame validation
Every batch is flame tested for purity. Lab analysis confirms 85%+ propane, butane content, meeting commercial LPG targets.
Community safety demos
Trained Kyuka technicians run in home safety walk throughs. Zero leaks, fires or injuries across 50 cooking trial households.
