Cities are at the forefront of securing our future of eliminating plastic waste in the environment. Big impact solutions—like collection and management systems—also create jobs and improve economic opportunities for communities. We focus on sustainable projects and programmes for cities in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
Today an estimated 3 billion people in the world lack basic waste management services and the global population is growing, along with the desire for improved standards of living. We can help cities thrive by applying a systematic approach for accelerated learning, rapid replication and large-scale impact.
Having the support of the local community is pivotal to the successful implementation and longevity of projects. This means partnering with governments and other non-government organisations (NGOs) in the area to show tangible benefits our projects can provide.
Cities need to “build back better”, and oftentimes issues with infrastructure, opportunity and the economy are interlinked. By focusing on sustainable and robust waste management solutions in our projects, we also create jobs and provide better conditions for the informal waste communities around the world.
