Is there real money in circularity; or is it just another buzzword founders are chasing?
In this episode of The Founders Path Podcast, we dig into why the circular economy is gaining urgency across Africa right now, and what it actually takes for founders to build businesses in this space that are profitable, not just well-intentioned.
We talk about the difference between upstream and downstream circular solutions; and which one actually moves the needle. We ask the uncomfortable question of who's really responsible for waste, and why circularity still feels like mostly an urban conversation. We also unpack which players (on the supply, demand, and capital side) founders need to win over to build a circular business that works at scale, and whether circular products can even compete on value for money in markets with little to no regulation.
If you've ever wondered whether "waste" could actually be your next business opportunity, this conversation is for you.
