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.
