Greenhill recycling offers a convenient reward-for-recycling service that recovers post-consumer and post-industrial waste from its source and enters it into recycling value chains. In its household collection system, users earn greenpoints in exchange for recyclable waste, which can be converted into incentives or cash. They also have packages for corporate organisations to help them achieve their sustainability goals. They organise awareness campaigns to alleviate poverty and mitigate health risks in the community.
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.
