Abstract

Successful businesses create products that transform their customers and society for the better in tandem with the drive to preserve the environment for future generations; this attribute resonates with any business mandate to integrate waste management solutions in its value chain. Responsible African business leaders must be prepared to control and manage their ecosystems regarding the impact of the issues that concern the ethos of the circular economy; the onus rests on African business leaders to navigate responsibly waste management issues and solutions as their businesses evolve and adapt to the future. This chapter will focus on the concept of waste management in Africa, evolving waste management issues; challenges and opportunities of implementing the circularity principle in both industrial and service-based sectors in emerging economies; adoption of innovative measures regarding how emerging economies can transit from the traditional linear approach of production and consumption to a circular path. The scope of the chapter will also entail a discussion of how African leadership in both private and public sectors can sustainably imbibe and integrate the principles and practices of circularity in their value chains amidst the challenges of insecurity and inept business practices abound in Sub-Saharan Africa.
