Turning waste into homes, jobs, and resilient futures
Upcycle Africa exists to confront plastic pollution, housing shortages, and youth unemployment as one connected challenge.
We transform discarded plastic into dignified homes, green jobs, and resilient livelihoods.
By building circular systems rooted in communities, we turn waste into value, restore environments, and prove that climate action can be inclusive, practical, and economically sound.
Community Collection Hubs
Where waste becomes local income
Community hubs pay collectors, sort plastic, and anchor circular value chains locally.
Recycling And Processing
Turning plastic into raw value
Collected plastic is cleaned, shredded, compacted, and prepared for manufacturing and construction use.
Eco Brick Housing
Homes built from discarded plastic
Durable eco bricks create affordable, climate resilient housing for low income communities.
Upcycled Product Design
Everyday products with circular purpose
Plastic waste becomes furniture, accessories, garments, and functional items for conscious markets.
Wastepreneurs Accelerator
Green businesses led by youth
Youth and women receive training, mentorship, tools, and capital to launch circular enterprises.
Advocacy And Education
Changing behavior before pollution starts
Public campaigns and school programs reduce single use plastics and promote reuse culture.
Research And Innovation
Improving materials for long term impact
Continuous testing strengthens product durability, thermal performance, and scalable circular solutions.
