About M-taka

We're building the operating infrastructure for Africa's circular economy, with technology that serves every stakeholder in the waste ecosystem.

Our Mission

To build tech-enabled infrastructure that powers inclusive, data-driven, and traceable circular supply chains, and sustainable livelihoods.

Our Vision

An inclusive, data-driven circular economy.

Our Values

Innovation, inclusion, transparency, sustainability, and empowerment drive everything we do.

Our Story

Africa's circular economy is growing rapidly, but the infrastructure needed to support it has not kept pace.

Across the continent, millions of waste pickers, collectors, aggregators, recyclers, brands, and governments operate in disconnected systems with limited data, fragmented supply chains, and little visibility across the movement of materials. Most waste recovery operations still rely on paper records, informal coordination, and manual processes, making it difficult to scale efficiently, access finance, ensure traceability, or meet growing compliance demands.

We founded M-taka to solve this infrastructure gap.

We believe the future of the circular economy will not be built by isolated apps or standalone recycling projects, but through connected digital infrastructure that links every actor, transaction, material flow, and impact metric into one interoperable ecosystem.

That is why M-taka is building Africa's DICE — the Digital Infrastructure for Circular Economy. Our Integrated Circularity Platform (ICP) is that infrastructure: one unified layer for the continent's circular economy.

Our platform combines operational management systems, traceability tools, analytics dashboards, marketplaces, digital identity systems, financial infrastructure, and impact reporting into one connected ecosystem that works for waste pickers, aggregators, recyclers, governments, brands, and development partners alike.

We are building the systems that enable:

Waste to move efficiently through the value chain
Actors to access markets, finance, and visibility
Governments and brands to access verified circular economy data
Informal workers to become recognized participants in the green economy
Circular economy ecosystems to scale with transparency and accountability

Our vision goes beyond waste management.

We are building the operating infrastructure for Africa's circular economy, the digital rails that will power material recovery, traceability, compliance, climate financing, and inclusive green livelihoods across the continent.
