Trashcoin Limited

Trashcoin is Africa’s first eco-fintech solution that is digitizing waste collection into economic opportunity. With over 300 million tonnes of waste generated annually and less than 10% recycled, we provide a digital solution that incentivizes individuals to recycle in exchange for rewards like cash, health insurance, education credits, and electricity. Our app leverages blockchain for transparency and AI for smart waste sorting, ensuring traceability and efficiency.

Trashcoin produces verified, trade-ready recyclable materials that meet global quality standards. We’ve recycled over 2.5 million kg of waste, impacted 12,000+ lives, and secured a $1.4M annual supply contract. Now raising $1.5M pre-seed, we aim to scale across Africa, launch 5,000 hubs, and create 3,000 green jobs.

Where urban waste crises, youth unemployment, and low recycling infrastructure present urgent challenges and high-impact opportunities, Trashcoin is transforming waste into value, sustainably.
