Treasure from trash: how The Recycler creates value/ maggots from waste in the booming Dar es Salaam - a podcast by Sam Floy: Entrepreneur in East Africa

One of the by products of a country’s development is the amount of waste that is produced.

As populations grow the number of, say, plastic bottles that are consumed increases.
