Lesedi Manufacturing Primary Co-operative
Lesedi Manufacturing is the green co-operative that deals with waste management and creates a healthy living environment
by collecting recyclable waste material that would have littered the streets. We started this business with the aim of cleaning
Alexandra and controlling pollution. The co-operative was established in 2008 and it has started to operate at full capacity in
2012. Our current operation is to collect and separate general and household recyclable waste material into categories e.g.
boxes, white paper and plastics. The company future plans are to purchase the granulator machine, owning our own truck,
and buying newpremises for expansion.
