Inclusive Systems for Sustainable Green Jobs
WHO WE ARE
Environment360 is a woman-led, Ghana-based social enterprise that supports the development of circular communities. We provide technical training, capacity-building sessions, and business development support to formal and informal green entrepreneurs.
Founded in 2014, Environment360 has been a trailblazer in the plastic waste collection space. The organization spearheaded the development of a local PET market by developing the first successful community collection schemes for plastics, Evolve. The leadership of the organization was also key in developing the National Standards for PET recycling. The organization has supported nearly 1,000 formal and informal green entrepreneurs to develop stronger business models leading to increased incomes and improved environmental conditions.
In 2021, the organization developed the Circular Innovation Hub. The Hub provides green entrepreneurs access to a makers space, skilled green tech expertise, and membership-based business support to help accelerate innovation and implementation of local technologies that improve livelihoods and human conditions.
The organization and the Circular Innovation Hub are based in Dodowa at Environment360’s Green Complex facility.
