Africa’s circular economy job market is moving beyond legacy waste companies, with non-traditional players now taking the lead. Analysis of 30 new roles this month shows that firms where waste management is not the primary focus account for 19 positions, highlighting the expanding adoption of circular economy practices across industries.
These roles were identified based on their direct link to circular economy or waste-related activities, either through the company or the nature of the role.
Southern Africa dominates with 12 roles across South Africa, Mozambique, Botswana, and Namibia. South Africa accounts for the majority, hosting 9 of the 12 positions.
