SMEP Plastics Webinar 1/3: Making plastics recovery models viable

In this webinar, Zoë Lenkiewicz of Global Waste Lab facilitates a discussion on the viability of plastics recovery models among practitioners and policy actors. Often seen as a technical issue, viability is also shaped by revenue models, market access, links with informal and municipal systems, and adaptive capacity. Webinar 1 in a 3-part series explores how to build plastics recovery models that work in constrained contexts, featuring two enterprise case studies and a wider systems view. The session examines what is commercially viable, what still needs support, and implications for grant design and programme strategy. The panel includes: • Christian Mang'eli, Mr Green Africa (Kenya) • John Adelegan, RiverRecycle (Ghana) • David Ongare, Kenya National Environment Management Authority Organised by SouthSouthNorth and UNCTAD as part of the SMEP Programme
