Welcome to a new episode of Land Talks, brought to you by the G20 Global Land Initiative. Today we sat down with Martina Sikawa, a passionate youth ecopreneur from Nairobi, Kenya, who is transforming the future of land and wetland restoration through innovation with her company, Chemolex. Martina shares her inspiring journey restoring rivers, wetlands, and Lake Victoria by designing and installing AI-powered river plastic waste interceptors that remove tons of ocean-bound plastic waste and clean massively polluted rivers and water bodies. Additionally, Chemolex also harvests invasive water hyacinth and converts it into a biodegradable alternative to single-use plastic.
