About Us
Working together for a Zero Waste Future
Developed by a passionate network of zero waste practitioners, NGOs, environmental activists, researchers, and waste picker associations, the Africa Zero Waste Hub is a collaborative platform for learning, sharing, and action. Our goal is to advance zero waste in Africa by providing a central resource where reports, insights, and research are accessible to anyone committed to building a sustainable and just future through zero waste initiatives.
Shaping Africa’s zero waste movement through shared knowledge.
Africa Zero Waste Hub was created as part of a broader project funded by the Urban Movement Innovation Fund (UMI Fund) to mobilise and organise around zero waste in cities.
The Hub’s content is shaped by waste diversion projects and knowledge exchange between organisations working in diverse contexts. Contributors include groundwork (South Africa), Durban University of Technology, Nipe Fagio (Tanzania), Purpose (Kenya), Green Africa Youth Organization (Ghana), GAIA, Instituto Pólis (Brazil), UMI Fund, Urban Futures Centre (2021-2024), Asiye eTafuleni (2021–2023).
Developed by the South African team behind the Warwick Zero Waste Project, this website draws on the collective insights and experiences of our diverse network of partners.
