From a single collection hub in Mpigi to a systems integrator across eight countries — our story is rooted in the belief that waste can build homes, dignity, and green economies.

Johnmary starts collecting plastic waste in Mpigi with a group of 10 youth. First eco-bottle prototype made by hand-packing bottles with soil, sparking a community movement.
Construction of the first house built entirely with eco-bricks. Upcycle Africa wins the IET Innovation Award, attracting international partners and funding.
Formalised training for youth and women; 30 enterprises incubated in first cohort. Plastic diverted crosses 500 tonnes, creating green jobs.
Honoured for sustainable housing innovation. Open hubs in Nigeria, Tanzania, and Kenya. Feedstock sales to manufacturers begin, unlocking circular revenue.
300+ eco-homes built, 2,500 active collectors, operations in 8 countries. Crushed plastic becomes stable revenue line, funding further collection & advocacy.
We don't just recycle — we link hubs, processing, sales, and advocacy so circularity sticks across Africa.
Earned income from feedstock, eco-homes, and goods makes us resilient and less grant-dependent.
Our hubs are run by local youth, creating dignified work while cleaning the environment.
Whether you're a partner, investor, or future wastepreneur — there's a place for you in our story.
