Douala, the commercial capital of Cameroon, has recently been experiencing an upsurge in plastic waste pollution. This is mostly due to increased production from the brewery and water bottling companies and inadequate waste management infrastructures. In 2017 the city of Douala produced more than 20,000 tons of plastic waste daily, of which about 2% was collected and less than 1% recycled. Environment and Food Foundation (E2F) in Cameroon is bringing up a new collection, reusing and recycling systems for plastic waste, with a traceable social and environmental impact on global waste management. Our innovative approach seeks to strengthen the plastic supply and value chains, create new jobs, and relieve Douala from plastics pollution.
