Call to entry for our annual Circular Innovation Challenge 2024! Hosted by SOLVE@Waterfront, the Vikāra Institute and the V&A Waterfront. We are seeking entries of products, technologies and/or services which encourage the move from a linear to a circular economy. Our vision is a future in which everyday items such as textiles and plastics, food production and construction materials, and byproducts of living such as waste and blackwater, are produced, consumed, and/or managed in a circular and regenerative manner. Our vision, thus, is a world in which resources are conserved, waste is minimised, and ecosystems are preserved, leading to a thriving and sustainable society. Our top finalists will have the opportunity to pitch their idea to a panel of experts in the circularity field at Vikára’s annual symposium (22 – 24 Oct). The winner will be awarded a cash prize, training that addresses any specific needs they may have, mentorship, and access to business contacts along with excellent exposure to other businesses and potential customers through testing their product or service at the V&A, if relevant. If you are based in Southern Africa (Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Eswatini, Zambia, Zimbabwe) and have developed an innovative solution that meets the definition of circularity, and have at least a prototype ready for testing, we encourage you to make use of this opportunity to grow and develop your network and your business. Applications close on 13 September 2024. Be sure to visit https://lnkd.in/dgNmSchW to check your eligibility and enter today!

The Umbilo River winds through residential and industrial areas, as well as nature reserves, before eventually flowing into the ocean through the port of Durban. With the rainy season approaching, the first heavy rains could wash this pollution straight into Durban’s Harbour. We’ve brought in a few extra hands to help the Umbilo Team tackle the buildup and prevent it from ending up in the harbour. It’s an everyday challenge as it keeps on coming, but every bit we can intercept makes a difference.

This hidden pollution builds up silently, out of the public’s view. It's a daily challenge. We have bought in some additional teams to focus on the current build-up in the Umbilo River. We are excited to share the results of the team's efforts. Parley for the Oceans Brownie Points Social Employment Fund

South Africa has approximately 90,000 reclaimers who play a crucial role in combating climate change through waste management. Research from 2021 shows they divert 51% of post-consumer paper and packaging from landfills, directly contributing to the recycling economy and reducing carbon emissions. In the first half of this year, our collaboration with reclaimers in the greater Durban area has made the following impact: - Communities Serviced: 13 - Reclaimers Benefited: 40 - Income Injected into Reclamation Efforts: R75,000 By supporting the informal economy, we not only prevent a substantial amount of plastic from reaching our rivers but also play a vital role in reducing the environmental footprint. These efforts are essential in protecting our natural resources and mitigating the effects of climate change, while also enhancing the quality of life for those involved. We’re excited to continue building relationships with reclaimers and amplifying our impact in the second half of the year. Parley for the Oceans Fedgroup HUNT Properties Oceanic Global

A huge thank you to the Mr Price Foundation for organising an incredible #MandelaDay celebration with the Mr Price Group! Together, we collected 480 bags of waste, totalling a massive 1,345 kg, PLUS 4 tyres. It's amazing what a motivated team of people can accomplish. The vibe and enthusiasm from all who attended was fantastic. Each participant left with a set of 4 coasters made by the #TheLitterboomProject’s Wastepreneurs from plastic intercepted from our rivers and beaches. This initiative, in partnership with the Mr Price Foundation’s Uploft Programme creates value from collected river and beach waste while ensuring a cleaner environment in our communities. We had an epic day and are so stoked with what was achieved.
