@alluvia_uc Let this be the decade we finally sort our trash problem. It doesn't need expensive technology, just political will and public support. So many benefits! #health, #jobs, #environment (water, air, land). #SDGs #wastemanagement
All that glitters... 🌟 Is still a polluting microplastic. theguardian.com/money/2020/oc…
Dumpsites lay bare the failures of our take-make-dispose culture. Dandora is no exception. The time has come for governments, businesses & communities to build: ⚖️ Fair 😷 Safe ♻️ Sustainable waste management WasteAid.org twitter.com/kristianteleki…
RT @EmmaBurlow If I hear another person say it's a litter problem not a plastic problem... thanks @JamesWakibia @WasteAid twitter.com/JamesWakibia/s…
RT @aplastic_planet ”It is still cheaper to use virgin oil fresh out the ground to make plastic than it is to use plastic trash to make plastic” @LauraSullivaNPR on the myth of effective recycling solutions 👇🏽 cbc.ca/radio/thecurre…
@notosingleuse 300 tonnes of plastic. 🤯 Every. 🤯 Day. Mind-boggling.
So far in 2020, the UK has sent more than 300 tonnes of #plastic scrap to poorer countries... every day! Some of this will be genuine trade for #recycling, but sadly much of it will end up as #plasticpollution. We need to stop this madness. unearthed.greenpeace.org/2020…
@JoyceGachugi @CircularDsgNrb @TwoRivers_KE @JamesWakibia @PETCOKenya @NemaKenya Infrastructure & enforcement go hand-in-hand. Wherever single-use packaging is sold in economies without decent waste infrastructure, most of it ends up in the environment. Where there's a genuine value chain this doesn't happen so much.
@ConorMcG1one At @WasteAid we're working with governments and communities in lower-income countries, where upstream change is even more vital. We are big advocates of Deposit Return Schemes, Extended Producer Responsibility, and packaging materials designed with *realistic* end-of-life in mind
