Jambaar Capital has invested in Trashcoin, a digital waste management platform with operations in Nigeria that aims to help communities in Africa turn recyclable waste into economic value.
Trashcoin’s model allows users to deposit recyclable waste and receive credit in a digital wallet. That credit can be withdrawn as cash or used to pay for utilities, health insurance, education fees, or mobile data.
Jambaar Capital said it is backing the company because it tackles multiple challenges at once, including waste pollution, climate impact, weak recycling infrastructure, and financial exclusion, through a single tech-driven model.
