Inhle Indaloyakhe, a buy-back centre in Daveyton, was founded in 2014 by Suzan Banda, who saw a gap in the environmental sector and a lack of job opportunities in her community for people over the age of 35.
Today, the centre actively engages residents, tuck shops and schools in the area to persuade them to separate their waste at source and recycle.
Inhle Indaloyakhe has 30 employees and its operations have expanded into Johannesburg. Its recent establishment of a second recycling centre, equipped with granulating and pelletising machines, has led to a notable increase in the volume of recyclable materials it collects, demonstrating Suzan’s entrepreneurial success and commitment to sustainability- By Petco!
