The Project

Project Components: Integrated System Design

The Dar es Salaam Integrated Waste Facility is a city-wide circular economy engine — transforming waste into clean energy, industrial inputs, and sustainable jobs.

IWF System Architecture: A Circular Urban Engine

The IWF is a decentralised network of transfer, treatment, and transformation hubs, built to:

●Recover and recycle solid waste at scale

●Process organics through anaerobic digestion & composting

●Convert residual waste to clean electricity via WtE

●Treat faecal sludge for safe reuse

●Anchor green manufacturing through the Eco-Industrial Park

●Create 10,000+ direct and indirect jobs

4,600 t/day intake target
