Ehikowoicho Idoko, Martine Visser, Reza Daniels

Key Points 

  • Recycling can be promoted in low-income communities through a business model framework 
  • Business models for recycling efforts in low-income communities need financial and administrative support for sustainability in the short to medium term. 
  • There is no one-size-fits-all approach to such a business model framework. The model must be adapted to fit the community’s needs
