Environmental Protection and Sustainability

Our company is committed to protecting the environment and promoting sustainable urban development in Burundi through integrated waste management and eco-friendly practices.

Reduction of Environmental Pollution

• Prevention of illegal dumping in streets, wetlands, rivers, and Lake Tanganyika through regular and reliable waste collection.

• Promotion of waste segregation at source to separate organic, recyclable, and non-recyclable waste.

• Collection and sorting of plastics, paper, and metals for recycling in partnership with local recyclers.

• Transformation of organic waste from households and markets into compost and organic fertilizer, supporting urban and peri-urban agriculture.

Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation

• Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by diverting organic waste from open dumping and burning.

• Support for climate-resilient cities by keeping drainage channels clear and improving sanitation.

• Contribution to national and local environmental and climate action plans.

Community Awareness and Behavioral Change

• Environmental education campaigns targeting households, businesses, schools, and markets.
