African Circular Stories

Check out these really inspiring stories of circular economy entrepreneurs in different parts of the African continent: https://stories.footprintsafrica.co/

There are so many brilliant stories here. So I picked out just one to share with you: Mr Green Africa [1] collects, converts and sells more than 140 metric tonnes of post-consumer plastic per month.

One thing I like about their story - they mention some software they use ('tech enabled') as an incidental part of delivering on a big vision. Not as an end in itself.

If you have time, check out some of the other stories too!

About the author

Barry O'Kane

Barry is the founder of HappyPorch. With 20 years in the web development industry as a programmer and agency owner, he has a preternatural ability to decipher the systems and processes code that holds many teams back from achieving their goals. Partners say Barry gets to the root of issues quickly and makes it downright easy to deliver good work.

While he's unbelievably grounded, it's not uncommon to find him sailing through the trees as he paraglides his way round the world.
