Why is Waste Free 23 Different?
The world is failing at Municipal Waste Management (MWM). 35% is not managed, 5% of all man made greenhouse gas emissions are from our MWM and >90% of plastics are not recycled.
The current MWM systems have failed for many reasons – here are a few:
- Landfills and incineration are seen as “good solutions”
- Much of the costs are in transporting the waste
- Centralized – technologically enhanced processing is seen as the “answer”
- 20 million waste pickers are marginalized & their contributions minimalized.
Waste Free 23 is different and revolutionizing MWM by applying proven waste management solutions, eliminating unnecessary costs and empowering tens of millions of community members
Waste Free 23 is the Lowest Cost Most Effective MWM for many reasons – here are a few:
- Landfills and incineration are not needed – so their cost and the pollution they generate are eliminated
- Cost of transporting waste is in most cases eliminated.
- Distributed – safe and reliable recycling solutions are used. Regardless of their “tech level”
- 20 million waste pickers are empowered to increase their efficiency and effectiveness in MWM.
