01 / COLLECT
Stronger supply networks
Engage existing municipal, independent and commercial collection channels rather than replacing them.
Africa’s resource recovery platform
Turning waste into the resources of tomorrow.
Biorosh Energies is developing integrated waste management and resource recovery solutions for African markets, beginning with a proposed facility in Zambia.
About us
An African approach to waste, resources and energy.
Biorosh Energies is developing an integrated waste management and resource recovery business for African markets. Our work brings together collection, logistics, sorting, conversion technologies and practical applications for recovered materials.
We aim to work with municipalities, communities and industrial partners to address difficult waste streams while supporting local value creation. Our first proposed processing facility is in Lusaka, Zambia. The experience gained there is intended to guide projects in other countries, with each one shaped by local needs and requirements.
The Biorosh model
Built around local waste systems.
Biorosh aims to work with collectors, recyclers, municipalities and industry. Reusable and mechanically recyclable materials should be separated first. Suitable residual plastics can then be prepared for resource recovery.
Material mattersSort first. Recover what remains.Illustrative image
02 / SORT
Right material, right route
Inspect and separate waste. Prioritise reuse and conventional recycling before processing eligible residual plastics.
03 / RECOVER
Usable outputs
Apply controlled thermal processing and test recovered products for quality, safety and appropriate end uses.
How it works
From residual waste to assessed outputs.
01Source
Agree suitable plastic waste streams with local partners.
02Prepare
Inspect, sort and remove unsuitable or contaminated material.
03Process
Use a proposed continuous thermal recovery system for eligible fractions.
04Validate
Test products and assess their safe, compliant applications.
What we do
Services across the waste-to-resource chain.
Our current service portfolio covers collection through conversion, alongside advisory and community work. Scope and availability are agreed for each market and project.
Landfill waste management
Waste handling and management solutions for municipal, residential and commercial needs.
Plastic waste collection & logistics
Collection planning, on-site pickup and transport of suitable plastic waste streams.
Sorting & pre-treatment
Separate plastics by type and quality; prepare eligible fractions for the appropriate recovery route.
Plastic-to-fuel conversion
Develop conversion pathways for suitable residual plastics, with product testing and approvals before distribution.
Sustainability consulting
Waste audits, plastic reduction strategies, roadmaps and circular economy planning.
Compliance & environmental reporting
Environmental assessment and reporting support tailored to applicable rules and client requirements.
R&D and technology licensing
Explore research collaborations and licensing opportunities suited to local conditions.
Community engagement
Awareness, collection initiatives and partnerships that include communities in better waste systems.
Products & technology
Recovering value from eligible materials.
Biorosh's portfolio includes alternative fuel oils, carbon material and process gas. Further refining can be assessed for industrial fuel applications; lubricants and other oils form part of the wider product vision. Specifications and end uses depend on feedstock, testing and regulatory approval.
LIQUIDS
Fuel oils
Pyrolysis oil and potential refined fuel products for suitable industrial applications, subject to quality verification.
SOLIDS
Recovered carbon
Carbon-rich material whose use as a filler or other product requires processing, testing and market suitability.
GASES
Process gas
Recovered gas may contribute heat to the conversion process, subject to plant design and emissions controls.
Technology focus: continuous pyrolysis in an oxygen-limited environment, integrated with preparation, refining, quality control and emissions management. Performance claims are project-specific and will be validated during development.
The first proposed implementation
Zambia is the pilot. Africa is the ambition.
The proposed Makeni facility in Lusaka is intended to establish the operating, supply and quality systems that can inform future country projects.
The facility is in development. Capacity and annual intake are planned figures, subject to feedstock, final design, approvals and operation.
Proposed locationMakeni, Lusaka
Initial design capacity100 tonnes/day
Potential expansion130 tonnes/day
Indicative annual intakeUp to ~33,600 tonnes
Primary focusEligible residual plastics
Across Africa
A repeatable approach, shaped by each market.
Biorosh’s long-term vision spans multiple African countries. Each opportunity would require its own waste assessment, local partners, market demand, site design and regulatory approvals.
- Local collection and sorting capacity
- Suitable residual feedstock supply
- Safe product applications and buyers
- Environmental and operating pathways
Circular economy
Use materials for as long as practical.
The first preference is to reduce waste, reuse and recycle suitable materials. Biorosh's recovery approach is intended for eligible residues that remain after those routes are considered. Explore the circular economy approach.
Social responsibility
Communities are part of the solution.
The existing Biorosh programme includes community engagement, environmental education, collection drives, skills development and volunteer initiatives. Activities will be shaped with local partners as projects progress.
Work with Biorosh
Let’s discuss a practical partnership.
We welcome conversations with municipalities, waste suppliers, recyclers, industrial buyers, consulting clients and strategic partners. For project enquiries, contact Daniel Mundea, Director.
The global context
Why action on plastic matters.
Plastic waste is growing worldwide while collection and recycling lag behind. Explore the scale of the problem and the practical changes needed across the plastic lifecycle.
