Waste Recycle
A Global Shift Toward Circular Living
Around the world, people are becoming more aware of how everyday waste impacts the environment. From overflowing landfills to plastic in our oceans, there’s a growing need for systems that focus on reuse, smarter design and responsible disposal.
This shift has driven the growth of the global recycling and circular-economy sector. Businesses are redesigning packaging, governments are strengthening waste regulations and consumers are choosing more sustainable options. Waste management is moving from a background issue to a key environmental and economic priority.
By investing in this theme, you support companies working to keep materials in use for longer, reduce pollution and create more sustainable communities. This pillar highlights the innovations helping build a future where waste is minimised and resources are valued.
Why it matters to us?
The way the world handles waste has a direct effect on our health, environment and future. Recycling is more than separating bins. It is about protecting ecosystems, reducing harmful pollution and rethinking the products we use every day. For Inaam, this pillar represents the shift toward circular living, where materials last longer and communities rely less on disposable systems that harm the planet. Backing companies improving recycling and waste management helps support cleaner cities, healthier environments and smarter consumption habits.
What’s Driving Better Waste Solutions?
Landfill
Landfills continue to overflow with materials that take decades to break down. We back companies finding ways to reduce landfill waste and create cleaner disposal systems.
E Waste
Electronics are one of the fastest growing waste streams worldwide. Companies that safely process and recover materials from old devices help limit toxic pollution and promote circular practices.
Single Use Consumables
Disposable products such as plastics and packaging create significant pollution. Brands working on reusable or low impact alternatives help reduce this burden.
How do we turn waste into new opportunities?
At inaam, each company we invest in is evaluated through three key pillars of our impact methodology: Financial Robustness, Purposeful Impact, and Leadership Calibre & Intentionality. These pillars guide us in backing businesses that not only deliver strong returns but also improve lives and strengthen community wellbeing.
