This edition examines the growing global waste crisis and highlights packaging as a key entry point for advancing circular economy solutions. As cities generate increasing volumes of waste, inadequate collection and recycling systems continue to strain public health, the environment, and urban resilience, particularly in Africa.

The newsletter explores how innovative packaging design, circular business models, and policy reforms can transform waste into economic opportunity, create green jobs, and drive the transition toward cleaner, more sustainable, and inclusive cities.
