About
The problem it solves Unmanageable Waste and Environmental Degradation Africa produces 125 million tons of waste annually, yet only 4% is recycled. Open dumping contaminates soil, air, and water, harming ecosystems and urban areas. Economic and Health Risks An $8 billion potential is lost yearly due to poor recycling practices. Meanwhile, unmanaged dumps expose communities to a 50% increase in pollution-related diseases, endangering lives and livelihoods. Rising Demand Amid Growing Urbanization With Africa's urban population set to double by 2050, waste generation will skyrocket. Public demand for better solutions is high, but limited resources leave governments struggling to address the challenge effectively.
