Founder & Board Chairperson
Chama Nchendu Sikazwe
Recycle Planet was founded by Chama Sikazwe, a youth of Lusaka province in Zambia. He studied ICT but he's love for the environment turned him into an environmentalist by interest. He founded recycle planet because he noticed a gap with how waste was being handled by the local authorities, he believes in the mantra “no one is coming to save us, it up to us to save ourselves” and from that conviction and passion for a clean environment Recycle Planet was founded. He felt he was the only one who could clean up his environment the best way he knew how. With a background in Inventory Control, Records Management, Data Entry, Public Relations and Customer Service, he opted to channel all that experience and acumen in making recycle planet a successful innovation that will implement sustainable ways of handling waste.
