Source separation and on-site sorting turn one mixed stream into four material lines, each with its own destination. Only the residual fraction is buried.
Hover a line to isolate its path. Every stream has an identified buyer or use before it is separated — sorting without a destination only moves the problem.
Sorting is not the point. It is worth what it makes possible downstream — and what it takes out of the landfill.
At full sorting capacity only the residual fraction reaches the cell — against the entire stream today.
Compost, polymer and recovered material all sell. They are what carry the system toward operating break-even.
Recovery work already happens at Buterere. The programme formalises it rather than replacing it: pickers become paid, equipped sorting staff.
