Asmae is an association that, since 1981, manufactures and/or organizes singing and animation camps, and projects in partnership with associations and local communities, and sensibilizes the youth for North-South, South-South and North-South exchange projects.

The Asmae association shares its database listing all the recycling techniques developed by several developing countries in all fields (plastic, metal, fabric, paper, glass ...). The waste pickers from Mokattam (Cairo - Egypt) have agreed to share their formidable creativity in recycling with the ASBL Asmae. While 20 years ago, the scavengers were only small to medium waste recyclers, they are gradually becoming the best recyclers of the planet. It is by trial and error that they are able to develop interesting recycling techniques.
