ABSTRACT
The aim of the study was to assess solid waste recycling as an emerging source of raw material in Namibia. Recycling solid waste has become part of society. In striving to meet the high demand for raw materials and finding solutions to waste management challenges, countries worldwide are turning to recycling of solid waste. In developing countries, recycling is an emerging industry. While there have been numerous studies on recycling processes, very few studies have focused on recycling as an emerging source of raw material industry and little or no research has been conducted on recycling as an emerging source of raw material in Namibia. This study aimed to investigate this emerging industry in Namibia. This study was a descriptive case study, qualitative in nature employing interviews, document search and observation to collect data to achieve various objectives namely: to investigate the motives and extent of involvement of companies in solid waste recycling in Namibia, examine legislation and policies, guiding waste recovery and recycling in Namibia, establish emerging waste recycling growth trends, assess industry value addition processes and associated benefit chains and examine local and regional operational network linkages in the industry. The study investigated all these issues applying existing waste management concepts and attempted to establish progress of recycling as an emerging raw material industry in Namibia.
