Acen, the African Circular Economy Network, is at the forefront of promoting and implementing the circular economy in Africa. With a team of dedicated professionals and a network of partners across various countries, Acen is committed to driving sustainable development and economic growth on the continent. The circular economy refers to an alternative approach to the traditional linear economy, where resources are kept in use for as long as possible, extracting maximum value from them, and then recovering materials and regenerating products at the end of their lifespan.

Africa, with its rich history of circular principles, has immense potential to leverage new business models and technologies in sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, and waste management to uplift livelihoods and alleviate poverty. Acen offers a range of services, including case studies, presentations, and learning resources, to support circularity in African cities. They also organize workshops and projects focused on food systems, electronics, built environment, packaging, fashion, and textiles.

Through events like the World Circular Economy Forum (WCEF), Acen fosters global collaboration and amplifies African voices in the circular economy dialogue. Join Acen today and be a part of Africa's circular journey towards a sustainable and prosperous future
