Environment360 At The Very Core
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 Green Complex. The Green Complex provides interactive training and learning experiences that support increased understanding of the circular economy. Located in Dodowa, the facility offers a serene training space and a variety of machinery used for training and prototyping.

Cordie Aziz founded Environment360 in December of 2014, to support the creation of circular economies that have economic and environmental impact. During the past decade, she has become an expert in supporting informal sector plastic waste collectors, also known as waste pickers. Ms. Aziz was a pivotal force in the creation of the Ghana Recycling Initiative by Private Enterprise (GRIPE). She is one of the original founders of the Plastic Recyclers and Aggregators Association of Ghana (PRAAG); she served as President of the organization until June 2021. She is passionate about working with all stakeholders along the value chain to create an inclusive waste management system that create jobs for youth and women. In the organization’s newest venture, the Circular Innovation Hub, Ms. Aziz seeks to move women waste pickers from collectors to innovators using an open source modular recycling technology.
