Siyabuddy, a SEED Story from South Africa

Siyabuddy empowers community members to collect waste from different sources like shopping centres, hospitals, illegal dumping sites, etc. The company trains the collectors on waste separation, pays them per kg collected and ultimately sells the collected waste to recyclers all across South Africa.

Siyabuddy also manufactures and sells plastic pavement bricks, made from recycled plastic bags, which can also be turned into other brick moulds as well as roof tiles.
