Lupane is one of two sites in Zimbabwe that benefited from a waste management project launched in 2024 under the Capacitating One Health in Eastern and Southern Africa (COHESA) project. The model focuses on three key technologies: a waste recovery center for collection and segregation, a thermal chamber for the pyrolysis of plastic waste, and a biogas digester powered by organic waste from a community slaughter pole. These technologies are complemented by community training on solid waste management, fostering local ownership and sustainability.
