Africa, in many respects, is an underdeveloped continent with great potential, where ULAB recycling is in many countries an informal polluting activity. Many nations face multiple challenges related to health, security, availability of consumables, logistics and unrest. There are countries still with a legacy of colonial rule.
However, Africa presents more opportunities and Gravita has lead recycling operations in Ghana, Senegal, Tanzania, Mozambique, and Togo and has ULAB collection centres in adjoining countries as well. Gravita is working very closely with UNEP, Pure Earth, and the ILA to fulfill the company’s objective to operate the best ULAB recycling practices as a “Clean African Mission”.
