However, from the composition of discarded waste in the region, an estimate of 70-80% of produced waste is resourceful or recyclable. Only about 4% of this waste is recycled, mostly by a handful often unrecognized actors mostly characterized by poverty and unemployment conditions. It follows suit that this highly polluted spaces and wasteful production and consumption habit is also a result of the prevailing linear economic model (take-use-throw model) still perpetrated in most African cities, doing no justice to the human person nor to the human environment.<\/p>\n<p>In developed countries, Circular Economy (CE) has taken firm grounds in policy measures. It is an economic model which seeks to maintain resources in circulation for the longest time possible, and maintaining the quality of utility derived at each stage.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><p>Based on three principles:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Limit the use of natural resources in the production process or in the maintenance of the product life cycle.<\/li>\n<li>Extend the product life cycle through eco-conception.<\/li>\n<li>Increase the efficiency of the economic systems by reducing negative externalities and transforming waste into resources.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>CE therefore seems to be an interesting model which provides an integrated approach to combating poverty, restoring dignity to the excluded and at the same time protecting nature.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-4 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:50%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:3.84%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:3.84%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><p>Inspired by the Economy of Francesco principles, this research project suggests analyzing these issues from the point of view of the poorest and most vulnerable actors of waste collection and recycling. Hence we seek to do a diagnosis of the waste management practices which reveals CE processes in this region. Secondly, we seek to identify the informal actors of waste management who contribute to these circular economy principles and if possible establish a categorization of these actors. We are particularly interested in those at the grassroots of the chain whose cry is sensitive to the cry of the earth through circular economic processes. Finally, we seek to identify some issues faced by these actors and present a concrete proposal as a contribution to leverage their practices.<\/p>\n<p>For our research purpose, we engage in a community based approach with actors of CE. Through a documentary research, direct observation during field work, semi structured interviews and a survey, we aim to better understand how Circular Economy is practiced in the three major cities of Cameroon.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-5 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:50%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:3.84%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:3.84%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-image-element \" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-2 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1417\" height=\"1063\" title=\"process of sorting waste for warhousing\" src=\"https:\/\/francescoeconomy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/process-of-sorting-waste-for-warhousing.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/francescoeconomy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/process-of-sorting-waste-for-warhousing.jpg\" alt class=\"lazyload img-responsive wp-image-26229\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271417%27%20height%3D%271063%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201417%201063%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271417%27%20height%3D%271063%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/francescoeconomy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/process-of-sorting-waste-for-warhousing-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/francescoeconomy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/process-of-sorting-waste-for-warhousing-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/francescoeconomy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/process-of-sorting-waste-for-warhousing-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/francescoeconomy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/process-of-sorting-waste-for-warhousing-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/francescoeconomy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/process-of-sorting-waste-for-warhousing-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/francescoeconomy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/process-of-sorting-waste-for-warhousing.jpg 1417w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-6 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-6\"><p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>References<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Africa Waste Management outlook 2018, <a style=\"color: #808080;\" href=\"https:\/\/wedocs.unep.org\/handle\/20.500.11822\/30975\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/wedocs.unep.org\/handle\/20.500.11822\/30975<\/a>, last accessed 2023\/06\/18.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Trends in solid waste management, <a style=\"color: #808080;\" href=\"https:\/\/datatopics.worldbank.org\/what-a-waste\/trends_in_solid_waste_management.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/datatopics.worldbank.org\/what-a-waste\/trends_in_solid_waste_management.html<\/a>, last accessed 2023\/09\/21.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Kaza, S., Yao, L., Bhada-Tata, P., &amp; Van Woerden, F.: What a waste 2.0: a global snapshot of solid waste management to 2050.
