Dar es Salaam residents have been challenged to creatively recycle trash
materials and convert them into new materials or products of higher
value and quality - which would lead to economic empowerment while
giving waste materials a new purpose and most importantly avoiding
adding them to landfill.
Sarah
Scott, the CEO of Archipelago Productions, organizers of the Msasani
Beach Clean Up and Anza Up-cycle Fiesta which took place at Msasani
Beach in Dar es Salaam over the weekend said during the event that waste
products can be turned into treasure and people can make money from it
while keeping the environment clean at the same time.
Scott, who has been instrumental in the cleanup of the Msasani
beachfront, says there is a lot of trash on this beach that can’t be
reused but there are a lot of objects in the streets that can be reused.
