Recyplast collects, processes, and transforms plastic waste (recyclable materials). They have a mobile app called Plastock that helps their clients track the points they are rewarded with, and their waste collection status. They offer a model for the collection of plastic wastes using Plastock Boxes, or plastic waste purchasing points, installed in participating homes. Plastock aims to get households to separate their waste and rewards households with points that can be turned into communication, data, or mobile money credit. Their business model allows informal workers to become franchised collectors.

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.
