New Digital Technology Transforms Recycling in South Africa
Story 2
South Africa is rolling out BanQu, a digital system that tracks recyclable materials and records transactions between buy-back centres and waste pickers.
This technology allows waste pickers to receive SMS receipts, giving them clear records of their earnings.
PETCO, supported by The Coca-Cola Foundation, is expanding BanQu to 100 centres across the country.
So far, 10 centres are live, tracking over 2 350 tonnes of recycled material valued at R5.7 million.
BanQu improves business management for buy-back centres and helps integrate informal workers into the recycling economy.
Using secure blockchain technology, the system ensures transparency and protects user privacy under South Africa’s POPIA law.
This innovation supports small recycling businesses and promotes a greener, more inclusive economy.
