COLIBA Africa is an Ivorian social enterprise founded in 2017, dedicated to addressing the critical issue of plastic waste. Our mission is to structure and industrialize plastic waste recycling in Africa, while prioritizing the empowerment of women and leveraging mobile technologies to drive sustainable change.
