By 2050, global waste is expected to reach 4 billion tons, doubling what it was in 2020. The rapid upsurge ties back to growing urban populations and a rise in consumer culture over the past few decades, neither of which is slowing down any time soon. To reduce the strain this is putting on the environment and waste collection services, communities around the globe are turning to smart waste management technologies and solutions.

How much waste does Africa produce each year?

Population of Africa is estimated as 1,2 bln people in 2020. According to a World Bank Urban Development Series report, Africa currently produces just about 90 million tons of waste every year.
With its growth of population (average population growth rate is 3% a year), rapid urbanization and growing economies, waste production in Africa will exceed 160 million tons by the year 2025.

Why is waste management in Africa a problem?

With its rapid urbanization and growing economies, waste production in Africa will exceed 160 million tons by the year.Waste is a problem because it causes pollution, disease, and environmental crisis when it’s not properly managed.

.

Can Africa’s waste be turned into money-making products?

The volume of waste generated on our continent is expected to double in the coming years as Africa’s economy becomes more prosperous and the size and population of its cities explode. A few smart entrepreneurs are turning the huge waste we produce every day into money-making products.- But that is a small drop in the total waste to wealth potential in Africa, recycling only5% of total waste generated

OUR INVESTMENT SOLUTIONS
We have a team of experts and regional business development managers who identify and develop waste management projects in African cities, conduct initial assessment of waste resources, model waste collection and management processes for specific cities, conduct market research and comparative analysis of obtaining various products from waste and choosing a specific solution for each particular city that can guarantee long-term sustainable demand for the produced waste products and provide the best return on investment.

For example, for waste processing in Ghana we are going to produce clean diesel fuel, for Mozambique a combination of electricity and meprin, and for South Africa a combination of liquefied synthetic gas and electricity. All projects have long-term contracts for the purchase of all production volumes.

To ensure the rapid growth and geographic diversity of our Waste to Riches project portfolio, we also partner with local project developers and local governments (mainly municipalities).
As part of a public-private partnership, we implement and finance joint projects where local partners and local administrations contribute rights to waste disposal (mainly under a concession for a period of at least 30 years), the necessary land, supporting infrastructure, all necessary permits and licenses, and ADG's role as the managing company of WWAIF is to provide technology, integrated project management and investment.
We are open to partnerships with all local waste management project developers and have created a platform for applying for
INITIAL PROJECT EVALUATION AND APPLICATION FOR FINANCING. Portfolio of current projects We develop and implement Waste-to-Walth projects in 9 African countries. Our projects range from 50,000 tons per year (180 tons per day) to 1250,000 tons per year (4500 tons per day)
We use the Africa Waste to Wealth Investment Facility (WWAIF) The Waste to Wealth Africa Investment Facility is an innovative public-private partnership designed to improve Africa's dramatic waste management landscape for the benefit of people, national economies and the environment.
