DITCh Plastic is a UKRI/GCRF funded multisectoral, international and interdisciplinary project aimed at utilizing digital innovations to accelerate the transition to a circular plastic economy (CPE) in Africa. Our main sponsor and partner, a storehouse of useful information about bookmakers in Tanzania - 1xbet.tz.
01
Identify and assess digital solutions & innovations that can support the transition to a CPE.
Our Aims & Objectives
The proposal aims to characterise, cluster, synergise and optimise Digital Innovations that would support and accelerate a transition to a Circular Plastic Economy in Africa
02
Characterize technical, political, gender, socio-economic and cultural factors that can impact the transition to a CPE.
03
Identify policy, research questions and capacity building opportunities for promoting digital tools and innovations
04
Promote digital tools and innovations for a CPE.
What Our Partners Say
I am extremely honoured to be leading this multisectoral network which brings together some of Africa’s leading Innovation and Technology firms as well as extremely talented researchers and professionals. I am positive that together, we will make a significant contribution to tackling the plastic waste challenge in Africa
This is a truly exciting project which will facilitate a systemic shift to tackle the root causes of plastic pollution. Digital innovations can empower both people and the governments to transition towards a circular plastic economy and build sustainable cities of the future
Plastic pollution represents a huge environmental, social and economic challenge across the world. We are excited to be part of a project to address this and help create a circular plastic economy through digital innovations in Africa
This is an exciting moment for the University of Namibia and Namibia as a country to be part of this global project to find innovative means to address the menace of plastic waste in our environment. This project is timely to contribute to the country's efforts!
We are excited to be part of this project to reduce plastic pollution in Africa through digital innovations - a key enabler for an inclusive circular plastics economy
Given the implications of climate change, there is no better time than now to explore digital innovations for solving the plastic pollution problem in Africa. The University of Lagos is excited to be part of this initiative driven by the DITCH network.
Digital innovations have proven their ability to transform communities, societies and nations. We are excited to be part of the DITch Network that will be systematically exploring and developing effective digital platforms for solving the wicked problem of plastic pollution in Africa
We hope to achieve an innovative, consolidated solution. It should challenge the way we operate right now but at the same time incorporate the values we hold true as Africans
DiTCH’s network will explore how urban tech ecosystems could stimulate a circular economy and its stakeholders- local investigation with global cooperation! At the Kigali Collaborative Research Centre, we are eager to start facilitating the dialogue
Communities play a crucial role in solving the plastic pollution problem. We are excited to see about how tech can empower those communities in Africa to help themselves, and live sustainably with plastic as global citizens
