Cities consume increasing amounts of chemicals, products, and natural resources including water, energy, food, and a wide range of raw materials, producing astronomically high amount of waste and emissions, thereby impacting on the regional and global environment. Waste pollution is one of the main environmental problems in most African cities and communities.
Urban ecosystems are characterized by a very high energy consumption and large amounts of solid waste to be discarded, incinerated, or treated in other manner. This way, they represent landscape degradation factor and adversely affect the quality of water resources, land, and urban air.
Africa is experiencing severe constraints with regards to the availability of landfill space, as well as challenges in operating and decommissioning landfills in a manner that is compliant with licensing conditions. To that end, there is need to transform from a linear to a circular waste economy via resources optimization and through building a secondary resources economy around the beneficiation of waste.
