Our dedicated team at w8steapp has collaborated closely with waste pickers, recyclers, and other key stakeholders to design a user-friendly mobile application that addresses the unique challenges faced by waste pickers in Kenya.
We have focused on creating a secure platform that facilitates direct transactions, reducing the reliance on intermediaries who often exploit waste pickers. Additionally, the app integrates geo-location services, real-time market data, and educational resources to support waste pickers in their daily operations and long-term growth.
The Result
The w8steapp mobile application will provide waste pickers in Kenya with a powerful tool to navigate the plastic waste recycling ecosystem more effectively. By ensuring transparent transactions and fair pricing, the app will empower waste pickers to take control of their economic destiny while contributing to a more efficient and equitable recycling industry. The application will also foster stronger connections between waste pickers and other stakeholders, ultimately leading to a more sustainable and inclusive circular economy in Kenya.
