Providing recycled briquettes as a reliable and sustainable energy source
2019 SEED Africa Award Waste Management Blantyre, Malawi

InteWaste produces briquettes through waste recycling as a sustainable, clean source of energy. Other products offered are compost manure to promote smart agricultural practices amongst smallholder farmers. The company recruits production, packaging and sales force from local youth and women, thereby providing them with a formal income and education.

The enterprise targets households and public institutions in areas without access to reliable, affordable clean energy sources and also provides add-on equipment for briquette users, such as briquette-compatible cooking stoves.
