Created in 2013 in Togo, Africa Global Recycling (AGR) now has an annual turnover of more than 250 million CFA francs. The company founded by Edem d'Almeida employs around fifty workers.Africa Global Recycling is a reference company for the green economy through waste recovery in sub-Saharan Africa. It puts waste at the heart of a new economic model and social innovation on the continent. This approach is quite promising, as AGR has managed to achieve an annual turnover of more than 250 million CFA francs (382,234 euros) and create around 50 jobs

In the start-up's sorting and treatment center, up to 46 types of waste are treated, including plastics, electronic equipment, paper, cardboard, glass, metals and even bumpers from crashed cars. To transform all sorts of materials, the start-up has equipped itself with ultramodern machines, including extruders, or aggregators for the manufacture of synthetic fibers, optical blocks, woven felts for the automotive industry

After 8 years of existence, AGR started from a model exclusively focused on the sale of recyclable waste to diversify with new services such as consulting, training, and waste management engineering. Recently, the start-up has also been offering integrated CSR project solutions.
