Why We Built ZeroWaste+
Businesses in frontier markets don’t operate in stable, predictable environments. They operate in complexity — volatile costs, weak infrastructure, limited access to capital, and constant pressure to stay profitable.
In that reality, sustainability is not a priority. Survival is.
Most businesses in Nairobi, Kigali, Port-au-Prince, and similar markets are focused on one thing: staying afloat and making money. They don’t have dedicated ESG teams. They don’t have the budget for consultants. And they’re not thinking in frameworks designed in New York or London.
But there’s a hidden cost.
Energy inefficiency, unmanaged waste, and regulatory blind spots quietly drain margins. Environmental and operational externalities go unmeasured — and therefore unmanaged. Over time, this creates a vicious cycle: rising costs, declining resilience, and increasing exposure to risk.
At the same time, existing ESG tools — built for investor reporting in Western markets — sit unused. They are too abstract, too expensive, and disconnected from day-to-day operations.
ZeroWaste+ exists to break that cycle.
