    From Waste to Wealth_ Supporting Circular Economy Enterprises with Christine Mbaabu
    May 11 2026
    In this episode, we dive into the growing importance of the circular economy and what it truly takes for enterprises in this space to scale and achieve long-term impact.
    We are joined by Christine Mbaabu, Programme Manager at Kenya Climate Innovation Center, an organisation playing a key role in supporting innovative green enterprises. We explore how circular economy businesses are being nurtured, the challenges they face in scaling, and the support systems that are helping them move from promising ideas to fully impactful, market-ready solutions.
    From financing and capacity building to ecosystem support, this episode unpacks what it really means to build sustainable businesses that not only reduce waste but also create economic opportunity and environmental value.
    If you're interested in sustainability, green innovation, entrepreneurship, or the future of Africa’s circular economy, this episode offers valuable insights into what is working and what still needs to evolve.
