Historical Context

Mr. Green Africa became Africa's first Certified B Corporation recycler in 2021. AEPW has been supporting this project since at least 2023, with the Pre-Processing Hub construction completed in June 2024. A third mechanical recycling production line was commissioned by end of 2024. 2023 reporting shows 3,147 assured tonnes collected and 2,203 assured tonnes mechanically recycled.
