Cabinet EDE International

Waste Beneficiation

Cabinet EDE International is an engineering and consulting company founded in 2001 and headquartered in Dakar, Senegal. The company operates across environmental health, water and sanitation, waste management and related infrastructure sectors, providing technical studies, project design and implementation support for public and private sector. Within its portfolio of solutions, Cabinet EDE International has developed a household-scale biogas system focused on the treatment and valorization of organic waste. The system converts organic waste from domestic and market environments into biogas for cooking and mineral-rich biofertilizer for agricultural use, addressing challenges related to organic pollution, waste management and access to biomass-based energy. The biogas unit is designed to operate with both solid and liquid inputs and uses mold-cast construction to ensure gas and water sealing. Unlike conventional fixed-dome digesters, the system does not require specialized technical skills to install, is easy to maintain and is designed for long-term operation, with an estimated lifespan exceeding 30 years. The technology has been piloted in high-organic-waste settings, including Senegal’s central fish market. Through this solution, Cabinet EDE International applies its engineering and environmental expertise to decentralized waste-to-energy applications, supporting circular economy approaches in household and community-scale contexts.

GAYNAKO

Waste Beneficiation

GAYNAKO addresses Senegal’s recurring forage deficit caused by climate change, reduced pastoral land, and declining nitrogen availability in natural forage. The company has developed a multinutritional feed block ("Brique Multinutritionnelle") made from agricultural residues, fish waste, and wild grasses to support livestock nutrition year-round. Based on a study assessing forage by availability, palatability, digestibility, and bromatological value, the company identified legumes—due to their nitrogen-fixing ability—and grasses from agricultural waste as key resources. These are combined with fishery by-products to create the Multinutritional Brick, an innovative nitrogen-based livestock feed. This solution addresses critical issues of forage scarcity and nitrogen deficiency in animal nutrition, contributing to more sustainable and efficient livestock farming.

Anilaye

Advanced Materials & Chemicals
Water Efficiency

Anilaye is a Senegalese social enterprise focused on improving access to safe drinking water in rural and peri-urban areas where conventional water infrastructure is limited. The company designs, produces and distributes household-scale water filtration systems adapted to low-resource and off-grid contexts. Their core solution is a gravity-based filtration fountain composed of stacked reservoirs and dual filter cartridges made from ceramic, activated carbon and silver compounds. The system purifies water without electricity, operates with minimal maintenance and is designed for household use as well as for small institutions such as restaurants and guesthouses. By relying on physical and chemical filtration rather than powered treatment, the solution is suited to last-mile environments with limited access to reliable services. The filtration systems provide an alternative to bottled water, supporting reductions in plastic waste while improving access to safe drinking water. Their model also incorporates local production and distribution, creating economic opportunities within communities, including for women involved in manufacturing and sales.

Grinove Materials

Waste Beneficiation

Grinove Materials (formerly BiGGbiodesign | Bio Innovative Green Growth Inc.) develops plant-based, biodegradable fiber materials derived from agricultural residues, with applications in sustainable packaging and disposable products. The company’s work targets the environmental and resource challenges associated with conventional paper and plastic packaging by enabling alternative bio-based material streams. Grinove Materials’ core process enzymatically valorizes post-harvest agricultural waste, such as wheat straw, to produce pulp suitable for molded fiber applications. The process uses enzymes rather than harsh chemicals and yields cellulose-rich fiber feedstock compatible with existing molded packaging production lines. The resulting materials are designed to be compostable and recyclable and meet relevant regulatory and food-contact safety standards. End-of-life outputs, including residual stream components, can return to soil as compost or fertilizer, supporting circular material flows between agricultural and packaging sectors. Grinove Materials’ technology can be used in food service packaging, secondary packaging applications and other disposable material contexts where biodegradability, plant-based feedstocks, and reduced reliance on wood and plastics are priorities.

Biomiles Biyolojik Mücadele Arge Sanayi Ticaret ve Limited Şirketi

Advanced Materials & Chemicals

The company Biomiles Biyolojik Mücadele Arge Sanayi Ticaret ve Limited Şirketi focuses on the domestic mass production of the parasitoid wasp Aphidius colemani, a widely recognized biological control agent used against aphids in agriculture and landscaping. While Aphidius colemani is currently imported from international firms like Biobest and Koppert, this initiative aims to establish a cost-effective and high-performance local alternative. Local production ensures greater efficacy by reducing the insect’s exposure to long-distance transport, thereby preserving its biological activity. The production process incorporates artificial diets to enhance performance, and genetic diversity is maintained through periodic introduction of wild individuals. This approach offers a sustainable and scalable alternative to chemical pesticides, addressing the growing demand for residue-free agricultural products and environmentally safe pest control methods.
