The Kolekt waste management app has been adopted by Mozambique’s only commercial plastic recycler, Topack, after a comprehensive pilot project and study.

The KOLEKT waste management app just turned one, and is now in the hands of the very people who helped design it, informal waste pickers. In three different countries, in four very different situations, the app was honed and tested, achieving a total of 7,200 transactions between waste pickers, waste buyers and recyclers, resulting in the sale of 5,400 tonnes of recyclables in Vietnam, Brazil and Mozambique.
