Training on AI-Powered Plastic Waste Sorting and Development of Sustainable Biofibre Composites

A multidisciplinary research team is implementing an innovative project to address plastic waste and underutilized agricultural and food-processing residues by transforming them into high-value biofiber-reinforced composite materials for sustainable construction. The project is led by Prof. George Rading, with Senior Lecturers Dr. Maxime Binama and Dr. Celestin Nkundineza, Lecturer Dr. Gaudence Nyiranzeyimana, and Assistant Lecturer Vincent Niyigaba. Stakeholders, including Deacomart Ltd., also participate. Overall, the project aims to reduce pollution, promote a circular economy, and build lasting research collaboration and capacity across Africa.
