The research, released by the Copper Sustainability Partnership (CuSP), shows that the number of waste and recycling datasets fell by more than half between 2010 and 2022. #WasteManagement #RecyclingData #GovernmentData #EnvironmentalImpact #DataTransparency CuSP - Copper Sustainability Partnership https://lnkd.in/esT_yZRQ

Quote of the Moment: "NEMAs' work is to supervise and coordinate all matters environment. #WasteManagement is one key environmental issue, and for us to work we need policies which are already in place. We have the Sustainable Waste Management Policy (#SWMP2021) and Sustainable Waste Management Act (#SWMA2022). At the moment we do not have any gaps as our (SWMA2022) was put in place 2 years ago. The act brought a radical shift in waste management which requires us to transition towards zero waste. That brings us to the circular economy which requires us to recover as much waste as possible." - Dr Ayub Macharia, Director Environmental Enforcement, NEMA #KEPROinMedia #KEPROinAction #CircularEconomy #SustainableWasteManagement
