My Business

The Impact 360 | Recycling for Empowerment Community Project. The Funding will be used to launch and start the implementation of the Community Recycling for Empowerment Project under the Youth Employment Creation Initiative whose aim is to:
1. Create Employment for 50+ Youth in Lusaka Collection Officers for Recyclable Waste Materials
2. Create Employment for 20+ Professionals in Recyclable Waste Management and Administration Roles.
3. Keep our communities and environments clean and safe from diseases and avoid drainage blockages through the systematic collection of recyclable materials/garbage
4. Generating income (in the first phase of the project) for the members engaged in the project from the sale of collected recyclable materials.
Below is a list of Companies willing and ready to buy our collected recyclable materials:
 Zambezi Paper Mills (Buys Paper)
 Alpha Limited (Buys PET Bottles)
 Central Recycling Limited (Buys Paper)
 Green Island (Buys Damaged Sucks)
