Clean Chililabombwe

We are on a mission to transform waste management in Zambia, starting with the town of Chililabombwe. Our recycling center is a hub of innovation, community involvement, and environmental responsibility.

A waste management case

Chililabombwe, the home district of more than 125,000 people, has experienced immense population growth. For this reason, its waste generation has increased beyond capacity, resulting in 40% of the 200 tons of daily waste being left on the streets and in nature. For the workers involved as well as the general population in Chililabombwe, the insufficiency of the current waste management system poses a health hazard, as it leads to infections and life-threatening enteric diseases.

Our Vision & Mission

 

Our vision is to become a leading recycling center in Zambia, contributing to environmental conservation and economic growth by transforming waste into valuable resources. We aim to create a cleaner, healthier environment in Chililabombwe by reducing waste through recycling and generating economic opportunities for the local community.

Challenges

Some of the biggest challenges in establishing a more effective waste management system in Chililabombwe include:

Equipment

Lack of equipment for specialised waste management and personal protection.

Dumping of waste

Inadequate refuse storage, collection and disposal facilities, which leads to indiscriminate dumping of waste

Proccess

Absence of a recycling and sorting center.

Community

Lack of engagement among community leaders and members/citizens regarding waste management.

What We Will Do

Our plan is to establish a for-profit recycling center focused on collecting, processing, and selling recyclable materials, including plastics, metals, paper, and glass. We will also engage in community education and awareness programs to promote recycling and environmental sustainability, ensuring that responsible environmental practices align with profitable business ventures.

Our Partnership with BlackForest Solutions

We are proud to partner with BlackForest Solutions on this transformative project. Together, we are working on the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Project in collaboration with the Chililabombwe Municipal Council. This partnership strengthens our efforts by leveraging global expertise in sustainable waste management to create long-lasting environmental impact.
