Hear from the communities and partners we work with across Africa.
"Upcycle Africa transformed our village. We used to see plastic as trash, now we see it as the walls of our children's school. Their eco-bricks are a miracle for affordable housing."
"As a fashion brand, sourcing upcycled materials from Upcycle Africa has allowed us to achieve 100% circularity. Their quality and mission are unmatched in the region."
"The Green Business Accelerator gave me the tools to turn my collection hub into a profitable enterprise. I now employ 15 people in my local neighborhood."
