Our Story

Engineering a circular future for Africa

Founded in 2019, Ovision EcoSmart Africa transforms Africa's plastic waste crisis into a circular economy opportunity, creating dignified livelihoods while delivering high-quality post-consumer recyclates.

Our Mission

Transforming waste into wealth

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.

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:

  • Digital ID and formal registration
  • Fair market prices via M-PESA instant payment
  • Access to health insurance
  • Financial literacy training
  • Recognition as environmental stewards

We're transforming waste picking into a profession, creating 2,000+ dignified livelihoods across 5 counties.
