Green Futures Start with You(th)! This June, we’re celebrating the power and potential of South Africa’s youth.

As we approach Youth Day, we’ll be shining a spotlight on green jobs in the recycling industry and the many ways young people can be part of building a cleaner, more sustainable future. The recycling economy is more than waste collection. It is an opportunity space filled with pathways into entrepreneurship, buy-back centres, recyclable material collection services, sorting, transporting, and community education. A circular economy ♻.

The future is centred around sustainability, and it starts with you(th).

It’s Africa Day, and we’re spotlighting another innovation turning waste into energy in South Africa ♻️⚡

Certain waste materials (such as paper and plastic that cannot be recycled) can be compacted into fuel pellets and used in cement factories to replace coal during cement production. This can help reduce carbon emissions and divert waste from landfill.

While this technology is still in its early stages in South Africa, it represents an important step towards a circular economy 🌍
