The Waste to Infrastructure Initiative is Plastpave Zambia’s flagship circular economy program that transforms plastic pollution into durable infrastructure while empowering communities with practical recycling skills and enterprise opportunities.

Across participating communities, plastic waste such as bottles, snack wrappers, and water sachets is collected through organized campaigns involving schools, youth groups, and local residents. Instead of ending up in landfills or drainage systems, this waste becomes the raw material for new infrastructure.

Using Plastpave Zambia’s locally developed Chitukuko Kit recycling technology, collected plastics are processed and moulded into durable construction materials including pavers, interlocking blocks, slabs, boards, and other infrastructure products.
