Circular Solution Network (CSN)

The Circular Solution Network (CSN) was established in April 2024 to meet the increasing demand for integrated sustainability solutions.

Inspired by the success of the 2023 Africa Waste is Wealth Series (AWWS), CSN unites private and public sectors, development agencies, and local communities to collaboratively create innovative sustainability solutions.

Our Story
