Waste Management

The Centurion DC’s certification proves that at scale, 173,500 square metres, segregation, partnerships with recyclers, and food donation programmes can divert over 90 percent of that volume.

By banning advanced recycling while mandating 75 percent recycling rates, the legislation sets a target that flexible packaging cannot meet with existing infrastructure.

The programme establishes a coordinated downstream process involving evacuation to central aggregation hubs, then to licensed recycling facilities.

Packaging producers and brand owners will be required to gather and maintain detailed information on composition of packaging materials (plastics, paper, inks, adhesives), origin and sourcing of raw materials, recycled content and recyclability performance, and environmental impact indicators including carbon data.

Users deposit recyclable waste at designated collection points and receive digital credits stored in a secure digital wallet.

Achieving 99.55 percent diversion means that less than half of one percent of this waste stream reaches landfill, a standard far stricter than typical municipal recycling targets of 50-70 percent.

The plant will process major plastic categories including LDPE, HDPE, PET, and PP, which constitute a large portion of urban waste in Liberia.

The platform combines machine, mold, and auxiliary technologies into a fully integrated system, enabling processors to run up to 100% rPET while maintaining production efficiency and part consistency.

Startups like Cyclex are building business models that turn waste into usable products, creating both environmental and economic value.

The programme will showcase technical papers, recent studies, and panel discussions featuring experts from the Gulf Aluminium Council.
