Reaval Uno collects, sorts and processes recyclable plastic waste into forms that are traded to be used in the production of new plastic materials, such as bottle processing, food packaging, fibre production, etc. Their aim is to facilitate a circular economy for plastics to achieve a positive environmental impact. They provide policy makers with evidence-based planning data on plastic waste management and encourage manufacturing companies to introduce recyclates – resins made from recycled plastics – into their consumer products. Throughout their operations, they aim to create earning and fair-wage opportunities for marginalized people.

This case study has been created as part of Footprints Africa's work to build a comprehensive open-source database of circular economy initiatives in Africa. We are doing this in collaboration with the African Circular Economy Network (ACEN), as part of our programme to support the circular economy transition in Africa.
