The Problem

A Broken Supply Chain
Leaves Everyone Worse Off

Waste pickers earn ₦100/kg with no direct buyers — trapped at the bottom

Aggregators extract value through middleman cuts, reducing picker income

Dumpsites overflow — Aba generates thousands of tons of unrecovered plastic annually

Fragmented supply chain means recyclers lack clean, consistent feedstock

Plastic pollution fuels disease vectors, flooding, and climate damage in communities

Supply chain broken.
Waste pickers undervalued. Recyclers undersupplied.
