We first set up community collection centres in the informal settlements
We employ women from the informal settlement to collect and deliver organic waste
All the waste collected and delivered is loaded onto the WasteBot machines and processed into fertilizer within 24 hours
The fertilizer is collected for delivery
We have developed a waste food processor that decomposes food waste into organic fertilizer reducing the number of dumpsites that causes numerous release of toxic gases to the atmosphere eg Methane which is the primary contributor to the formation of ground-level ozone, a hazardous air pollutant and greenhouse gas, exposure to which causes over 500,000 premature deaths every year.

We have now reduced urban waste by 40% by collecting kitchen waste from the households we are working with
Household waste ends up been burnt and carbon added to the air. We are reducing this one household at a time.
Supplying organic fertilizers to farmers reduces the use of inorganic farm chemicals that produce carbon to the air
We have established proper waste removal which helps improve air and water quality as well as reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
We turn otherwise harmful waste into 70% cheaper fertilizer to empower our African farmers to produce more food
By giving organic fertilizers at a cheaper price, it has grown their farm produce by 25%
Reducing the number of dumpsites reduces the spread of diseases such as malaria & cholera
Giving the organic fertilizers to farmers directly increases soil fertility and reduces their losses in their farms
After I started using EcoRich fertilizer, I have doubled my income from my crop harvest in 2022
Since I started using the waste decomposer in my kitchen, the smell from food waste has been completely eliminated.
With this hiked prices of fertilizer, Ecorich fertilizer is very affordable, it saves me some coins.
I can see difference in my neighborhood, the dirty and smelly trenches are now clean and dry
