Circular Economy Africa is a private-public platform in which companies, knowledge institutes, policymakers, and (local) authorities collaborate to promote and support national and international collaboration and knowledge exchange on circular economy in Africa.
Our Focus Areas
The biggest challenge to sustainability lies in the current linear–take, make, waste economic model.
