An innovative local business has the potential to help improve the waste management system in Malawi by introducing recycling. The entrepreneur behind Dynamic Recycling Malawi, Ltd, Lucas Phekani, calls waste paper “gold.” He can’t get his hands on enough of it, and in fact sourcing enough waste paper is a challenge for the company to overcome as it grows. The company takes paper-based trash and processes it into egg trays, which it sells to most of the large Malawian egg businesses. The paper waste could also be used to manufacture other packaging goods and this is something Lucas has firmly in mind for the future.
