Making of packaging materials from zero carbonisation process
Problem statement
Waste is a growing problem in Uganda. Every citizen disposes at least half a tonne of trash each year. Only 55% of the solid waste generated in Kampala is collected and managed. And most Ugandan enterprises and institutions still send over 90% of recyclable materials to the landfill or incinerate them. This compromises the environment and creates pollution that lowers the quality of life for all Ugandans.
Executive summary
Circular economy model is promoted in Uganda so that people know that their waste is gold.
Technology description
The hand bags are made from agricultural products using zero carbon production process.

A multi take low zero carbon production process is used.
