From one donkey cart to a circular-economy enterprise
In 2010 E.C., founder Henok Dongato — then working as a hotel guard — began collecting waste with a single donkey cart. Today that determination has grown into a 91-employee enterprise with a truck fleet, industrial recycling machinery, and a network of 18 small-enterprise partners.
