Plastic waste recycling presents an opportunity to create sustainable jobs while benefiting the environment. But the question remains, how can stakeholders contribute to a conducive waste recycling ecosystem, unlocking its green job potential among Africa’s youth?

The recent INCLUDE-Challenge Fund for Youth Employment report, ‘Green Jobs for Youth in Africa’s Waste Recycling Sector,’ outlines four pathways aimed at fostering green employment opportunities for African youth within the plastic waste recycling sector.

To further illustrate these pathways and the resulting recommendations, we are excited to present the Infographic: How to Make Plastic Waste Work for Green & Decent Jobs for Youth in Africa.
