Are you an entrepreneur with a vision for a cleaner, more sustainable Malawi? WASTE Advisers organization, in partnership with the European Union, is seeking innovative recycling businesses to join their successful support program!
What WASTE Advisers Has Achieved So Far
WASTE Advisers has successfully empowered local entrepreneurs to transform waste into opportunity, fostering innovative recycling businesses across Malawi. The organization’s support has led to the emergence of groundbreaking ventures that are making a significant impact on both the environment and the community.
One of WASTE Advisers’ notable success stories is Art Malawi, based in Blantyre CBD. Under the leadership of Manota Mphande, this innovative enterprise has found an ingenious way to combine education and environmental sustainability by producing school desks from HDPE waste. In Green Corner, Ambakisye Chimbayo heads Waste Solutions, a pioneering business that has established Black Soldier Fly Larvae farming, effectively turning organic waste into valuable resources.
Another shining example of the program’s success is Tikonze Apapa, led by Katiana LaFrance in Blantyre CBD. This creative venture utilizes looming equipment and spinning wheels to breathe new life into waste materials, transforming them into beautiful woven products. These businesses exemplify the potential for recycling enterprises in Malawi and demonstrate how innovative thinking can turn environmental challenges into economic opportunities.
What also stood out is Emmtech Enterprise, led by Emmanuel Chikwapula in Chiwembe. This innovative business produces pavement bricks and LPG gas, contributing to sustainable construction and energy solutions. WASTE Advisers has supported Emmtech Enterprise with capacity building, business coaching, and funds for equipment, helping them grow their recycling operation.
