Demonstrate the complete loop at small scale
Two mobile units in Soa, manual assembly.
The first teams trained in Soa.
Our vision for Central Africa
Training our engineers and technicians, turning our waste into raw materials, tracing our batteries.
With the growth of solar power, batteries are multiplying in Central Africa. Small, unregulated installers fit them, nobody tracks them, and once spent they end up burned, buried or resold without control. This is a fire risk, a source of pollution, and a resource we are losing.
≈ 77,000 tof electrical and electronic waste per year in Cameroon
< 1%formally collected in sub-Saharan Africa
Our commitment
What we want for the country
- Reduce electrical and electronic wasteOur strongest national ambition: formal collection through our bins, informal collection through campaigns targeting street waste, storage points in all 10 regions, and, with our partners, local transformation into raw materials.
- Keeping value in Central AfricaRecycle here, assemble here: the captured materials stay in the region and the black mass stays in Africa.
- Give control to the authoritiesPi tracks every battery and every lot: what comes in, where it is, how it ends up. The authorities finally have a view of the sector.
- Training a generationEngineers and technicians from Central Africa trained in the field, in the methods of the best mines and the best universities.
Three phases
A project that trains at every stage
Industrialise in Soa and validate the products
Fixed line, semi-automatic assembly.
Each mobile plant develops its own operators and network.
Closing the loop at continental scale
Refining in Kribi, units in other African countries.
Refining anchors its activities in the port zone.
Training
Train young people, recruit with us
ASSIMIC: internships and recruitment
With the Association of Mining Engineers of Cameroon: internships, recruitment, senior engineers alongside young engineers.
In the field
Site visits and seminars, with attendance certificates.
