One ecosystem.
Every link in the chain.
TakaLink is the infrastructure company behind Tanzania's waste economy — connecting waste pickers, aggregators, recyclers, municipalities, and regulators through a suite of products built on a single, verified data foundation.
Everything runs on TakaData
Before any product can work, the data must be trusted. TakaData is the verified ledger that every other product depends on — immutable by design.
TakaData
A blockchain-grade, hash-linked double-entry transaction ledger recording weight, material type, GPS coordinates, and timestamp for every event. Every TakaLink product reads from and writes to TakaData — the single source of truth for Tanzania's waste economy.
Nine products. One mission.
Each product solves a distinct problem for a distinct actor — together they form a complete operating system for the waste economy.
Core platform connecting every actor. Tracks transactions, enforces roles, and delivers regulatory-grade reporting.
Member lifecycle, fee tracking, attendance, SMS broadcasting for waste associations and cooperatives.
Mobile tool for waste pickers and aggregators. Offline-capable data entry for collections, weights, and GPS.
Disburses EPR incentives automatically: 50% to aggregators, 30% to waste pickers.
Turns TakaData history into a credit score. Queried by banks via API.
Publishes reference prices for PET, metal, glass — protects pickers from exploitation.
Optimised collection routes, demand heatmaps, and transport booking.
Training, digital IDs, behaviour-change programmes including TakaNiPesa.
Gamified tournaments and events that drive adoption, healthy competition, and brand visibility across the waste ecosystem.
The ecosystem in numbers
From waste to worth
Infrastructure, not just software
Building the waste economy together
Whether you're a municipality, waste organisation, EPR scheme, or impact investor — let's connect.
