Managing Waste Through Recycling ZAMBIA

Huge piles of garbage are spotted in most Zambian townships owing to the problem of poor solid waste disposal. This garbage poses a danger to the well-being of those residing in such localities. However, solid waste has been turned into a revenue earning resource by those with a business mind. In this News in Depth programme, Pennipher Nyirenda highlights small and large scale projects in Zambia resulting in the recycling of plastic and paper. Those profiled include the Chikumbuso Women and Childrens Project, Wonderful Group of Companies and Appropriate Paper Technology.

Nice documentary. You could contact Kalundborg Symbiosis Center, Denmark and learn how to expand the industrial symbiosis to reduce waste. Saw it being done with that company making furniture for disabled kids and toys. I am sure they also produce waste which can be used as raw material in another industry
