Proud to support the modernisation of waste management in Benin! We’re providing a sovereign loan of €35.5 million for Benin’s national solid waste management company, Société de Gestion des Déchets et de la Salubrité. The investment will support the upgrade and modernisation of municipal solid waste management infrastructure in the Grand Nokoué region. The project is being co-financed with the European Investment Bank (EIB). Grand Nokoué, which is home to approximately 2.8 million people, currently relies on a landfill-based disposal model. The EBRD funding will help the region transition to a more integrated and sustainable, recycling-oriented model by introducing innovative green technologies and practices that will yield tangible benefits at scale, including an expected reduction in CO₂ emissions of more than 75,000 tonnes per year. https://lnkd.in/dXsMvdY5
