Chairman’s Message
RAA, the Recycling Association of Africa, promotes the much-needed platform for African recycling companies as the voice of African recycling.
As the Founding Chairman of RAA, I am honoured to accept this responsibility, which brings both the opportunity and the obligation to protect and preserve our natural resources for future generations.
Our current recycling system is at a crossroads and urgently requires smart & efficient resources utilisation and creative energy to better serve the African recycling industry.
RAA’s role is to lead a collaborative effort to create a transformative vision for our recycling industry that is inclusive, equitable, and reflective of the circular economy.
That is why I am pleased to announce RAA, a critical effort in work to build a circular economy for all by creating awareness programs through conferences, networking, and education, which will in turn build a collaborative connection to the rest of the world.

Resources
Recycling Africa
It is estimated that Africa houses roughly 30 percent of the known global mineral reserves, and these desirable commodities have been extracted, and often exploited, for centuries. However, extracting those precious resources from the ground comes at an environmental cost that is increasingly coming under scrutiny and that is where circular thinking can play a huge part.
