Qualitative analysis of plastic waste enterprises
Evidano is an AI-powered qualitative data analysis platform that ingests transcripts, runs thematic and cross-segment analyses, and generates visual reports. This PLOS One study, published 8 June 2026, compares specialist plastic waste enterprises with general/mixed waste collectors in Greater Accra (Ghana) and Kisumu (Kenya) using 11 focus group discussions (n=87). The qualitative component identifies price volatility, theft of separated plastics, seasonal sachet-water flows, gendered labour patterns, and rising faecal contamination risks.
