About This Podcast

Fresh perspectives on zero waste within the African context. Zero waste is often seen as exclusively for the affluent eco-conscious individuals of high-income countries but with successful implementation, a zero waste system can truly embrace traditional knowledge and existing practices of preservation in Africa. Tune in as we discover the world of zero waste, the organisations championing this system of waste management in Africa, as well as delving into the environmental issues threatening our people and planet.
