01 · FIRST
Reduce
Avoid unnecessary plastic and design products and packaging to use less material.
Circular economy
Keep materials in use. Recover value responsibly.
Waste management works best as a sequence of choices. Prevent unnecessary waste, reuse what can be reused, recycle suitable material, then assess safe recovery routes for the eligible residues.
A practical order of action
Choose the highest value route for each material.
A circular economy aims to retain materials and their value for longer. This framework helps explain where Biorosh's proposed recovery activity fits alongside existing collectors and mechanical recyclers.
02
Reuse
Keep suitable products and packaging in circulation through refill, repair and repeated use.
03
Recycle
Sort and mechanically recycle materials where practical and environmentally sound.
04 · RESIDUAL STREAMS
Recover
Assess other regulated treatment routes for eligible residues that cannot be reused or mechanically recycled.
The Biorosh role
Support the whole chain, with clear material boundaries.
Biorosh's current service portfolio includes collection and logistics, sorting and pre-treatment, waste management, consulting, reporting, technology development and community engagement.
- Work with existing collection and recycling networks
- Keep reusable and mechanically recyclable material in appropriate channels
- Prepare suitable residual PE and PP-rich plastics for proposed thermal processing
- Test products, emissions and applications before distribution
Hazardous and medical waste are outside the proposed Zambia facility's scope. PVC and other unsuitable contaminants need control at the sorting stage.
Zambia pilot · continental ambition
Learn locally, then adapt to each market.
The proposed Lusaka facility would bring together feedstock partnerships, sorting, continuous processing, quality testing and environmental controls. Any future project elsewhere in Africa would need its own assessment, partners and approvals.
Resource recovery is one part of a circular system.
Reducing waste and preserving materials through reuse and mechanical recycling remain essential. Biorosh's processing route is intended for eligible residual fractions, subject to testing and approvals.
