Waste management in Angola: an initiative to raise awareness among young people and change their perspectives on disability

On January 16, 2024, a part of the employee volunteer program, 40 Total Eren employees helped children from the local communities to look at their environment from a different perspective and to understand how the resources surrounding them can recycled and put to good use.

The FlorAfrica association, led in conjunction with the Art & Culture Foundation, has developed the "3D'EFICIÊNCIA"  project, the aim of which is to use collected plastic waste to make artificial limbs and orthopedic supports using additive manufacturing.

During the Action! Mission organized with the association, the 40 affiliate employees helped young people from the Ilha community in Luanda to:

  • understand the importance of collecting and potentially reusing plastic waste;
  • look at physical disabilities from a different perspective.

More generally, this kind of initiative is a springboard for the association to promote beach-cleaning and waste collection campaigns among disadvantaged populations and, in doing so, they help the physical rehabilitation center in Luanda to produce artificial limbs.
