About
History
Great ideas they say, are born when great minds meet. CAPws was birthed from the need to tackle the three (3) major planetary boundary threats: Loss of Biodiversity, Climate Change and Pollution. The global south accounts for more than 80% of mismanaged plastic wastes. This is due to ineffective waste management systems. However, the devastating effects in our communities and nations threaten our sustainability as a people. Yet, innovations in circular plastic economy promises to alleviate these problems while creating prosperity. Hence, CAPws set out on a mission to address the economic impact of plastic waste within our ecosystems. CAPws is now operating in more than 21 countries and across Africa, Asia Pacific and Latin America.
