Our Waste-Preneurs

Our Waste-Preneurs are a network of home-based recyclers, based mainly in poorer, informal communities. These individuals, unemployed and often without any sort of income, have the opportunity to generate income by simply collecting and sorting waste. ImagineIf buys the sorted recyclables and then processes it further. There are currently 52 Waste-Preneurs trading with ImagineIf, of which:

 - 7% are female

 - Average age is 50 years

 - Average household size is 7 people
