Informal Waste Management Cookbook

The Project

Our team has started an exciting new collaborative project. We are researching informal waste management practices from around the globe, with an interest in pinpointing specific strategies and methodologies that are common in successful programs.

Our Goal

To put together a ‘cookbook’ of recipes for success which will be published as a means to share with the broader community some of the great work that is already being done to stop waste/plastic/debris from entering the environment. Our aim is to focus on stories from around the world and to highlight projects  that help reduce waste, turn waste into a valued commodity, or otherwise focuses on the 5 Rs in a novel way (from far up the supply chain all the way to end of life solutions)
