Our Mission

Engineering a circular future for Africa

Ovision EcoSmart Africa was founded in 2019 with a single conviction: that Africa's plastic waste crisis is also Africa's greatest circular economy opportunity. We transform what others discard into high-quality post-consumer recyclates that fuel local manufacturing.

By embedding 2,000+ informal waste collectors into a structured, data-driven supply chain, we simultaneously solve waste management, create dignified livelihoods, and deliver ESG-compliant PCR materials to brands reducing virgin plastic.

"We are called to assist the Earth to heal her wounds and in the process heal our own."

— Wangari Maathai, inspiration & guiding principle

How It Works

From waste to world‑class recyclate

Aggregation

Weighed, logged and geo-tagged at certified centres. Workers paid instantly via M-PESA.

Sorting & QC

NIR sorting by polymer type and colour. Contamination removed. Grade certified before processing.

Processing

Washing, shredding and extruding converts sorted plastic into clean flakes and granules at 10 t/day.

Social Impact

People at the centre of the loop

Behind every kilogram of PCR material are the hands of registered waste workers who previously had no safety net, no fixed income and no recognition.

Ovision changes that. Every collector receives a digital ID, fair market prices via M-PESA instant payment, access to health insurance and financial literacy training — transforming waste picking into a profession.
