Environment360: the role of the private sector in waste management || Cordie Aziz-Nash

Green Living Chats

Cordie founded Environment360 in December 2014 to support the creation of circular economies with an economic and environmental impact. During the past six years, she has become an expert in supporting informal sector plastic waste collectors, also known as waste pickers. Ms Aziz was pivotal in creating the Ghana Recycling Initiative by Private Enterprise (GRIPE). She is one of the founders of the Plastic Recyclers and Aggregators Association of Ghana (PRAAG); she served as President of the organisation until June 2021. She is passionate about working with all stakeholders along the value chain to create an inclusive waste management system that creates jobs for youth and women. In the organisation’s newest venture, the Circular Innovation Hub, Ms Aziz seeks to move women waste pickers from collectors to innovators using an open-source modular recycling technology.
