#ZEROWASTEMODEL Project..... loading.... *We Clean We Green* Conducting Households Survery for the *#ZeroWaste Model* pilot project in Area 25, Lilongwe Malawi 🇲🇼 Africa. Alongside the distribution of Information Education & Communication- IEC materials to Households.. Poor waste management in Malawi has contributed too much to methane emissions, health problems, environmental degradation etc , and the zero waste model is coming to address some of these challenges as it focuses on empowering waste pickers, encouraging waste segregation at source, creation of green jobs, environmental restoration, soil regeneration through Sustainable Composting, promotion of #refuse #reduce #reuse #recycle #repurpose etc... there by reducing the amount of unsegregated waste that ends up in the landfills. We appreciate our Sponsors and partners for the support and trust. 📧 wecleanwegreenmalawi@gmail.com #WorldEnvironmentDay #ClimateAction #savethechildren #climatechange #reforestation #wastemanagement Luca De Gaetano Jill Wagner Mario Passoni ZeroWaste Switzerland Sea Shepherd Global Sea Shepherd Australia Plastic Bank GAIA (Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives) The Social Change Agency Saubermacher Dienstleistungs AG Barbara Williams 4ocean PBC Cheryl Auger, CISSP, GICSP, PMP Ocean Generation Tina Robinson Solaxy Group Tara Van Gaal Plastic Oceans International Silvia 🌍 Pettinicchio 🌍 Adam Joe Parker 🌊 UMI Fund Youth Climate Justice Fund Planet Caretakers Christopher Storey Simon Ecosia Global Environment Facility #ClimateChange Environmental Defense Fund Global Environment Facility ) #zerowaste #ZeroWasteDC #ecosystems #ZeroWasteCities #Treesforplanet #Reforestation #plasticpollution #plasticfree #PlasticsINC #gcf #WorldEnvironmentDay2024 Claire Nouvian Climate Impact Partners ReForm-regioWald - Innovationsgruppe REGULUS Zero Waste Europe #womenempowermentk Hollis McLellan, MPH Clover Hogan Joan Marc Simon Clean Air Fund Andrew Morley

The 2024 theme for Earth Day, 'Planet vs Plastics,' underscores the urgency of safeguarding our environment and preserving our precious natural resources. As champions of sustainability, at Elite we understand the need to shift towards renewable energy sources and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. By supporting Carbon Footprint Ltd's verified carbon offset project of Improved cook-stoves in Malawi, we offset Elite’s carbon emissions for 2022-23. Our company value of ‘Do the Right Thing’ and our dedication to this cause means that we were recently named as a finalist in two categories at the prestigious Business Eye Sustainability Awards. This strengthens our resolve to continue pioneering sustainable practices, minimising waste, and maximising resource efficiency in our operations. There is no Planet B. 🌍 #EarthDay #sustainability #noplanetB

#circulareconomy #leavenoonebehind In the pursuit of a sustainable future, the concept of a Circular Economy is more crucial than ever. Whilst this approach fosters economic resilience, it also addresses the core environmental drivers essential for a Just Transition. Here are some ecosystem contributors who have leveraged innovation, technology, and their expertise to lead the response to the key environmental drivers of South Africa's transition to a Circular Economy: 1. Natural Resource Conservation and Regeneration:   - EcoBricks Ltd is transforming plastic waste into building materials.   - GreenCape continues its support for entrepreneurs with innovative solutions for resource efficiency and sustainable business practices. 2. Landfill Deterioration:   - WastePlan is focused on diverting waste from landfills through recycling and composting initiatives.   - Sustainable Seas Trust engages communities in coastal cleanup efforts and educational programs to mitigate the impact of marine debris. 3. Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions:   - BIOGAS CONSULTING SA harnesses organic waste to produce biogas to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.   - The SOLA Group is helping to decrease the carbon footprint of households and businesses across South Africa. Visit https://lnkd.in/dV44cHZG for more about the Sustainable Use of Natural Resources from a brief written by Jennifer Bansard and Mika Schröder for the International Institute for Sustainable Development Earth Negotiations Bulletin By identifying innovative ways to respond to these environmental drivers, you and your business can unlock various opportunities to play your part in South Africa's circular economy ecosystem. #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #GreenEconomy #JustTransition #SouthAfrica #ClimateAction #EcoInnovation Image source: https://lnkd.in/dRWRwN2X

International organizations, such as UN Trade and Development, UN-Habitat, and UNEP are pivotal in assisting #cities and local governments to achieve sustainable waste management goals. Their roles include #knowledgesharing, policy support, capacity building, and facilitating investment. A transformative approach, involving a shift from unsustainable consumption and production patterns towards a #circulareconomy across the various fractions of solid waste and water management, is essential. International organizations, by fostering #cooperation with Local and Regional Governments (#LRGs), can play a critical role in supporting cities to achieve water and solid waste management and material recovery goals that align with global sustainability objectives (#SDG 6, 11, 12 and 14). Waste reduction, collection, disposal and recycling are crucial areas on their own and together in a holistic manner. Garbage is a challenge: 80% of waste is disposed improperly. But it is also a potential wealth, and bad management is a missed opportunity. Waste management is closely linked to #health, #foodsecurity, social #wellbeing, employment and environmental protection. Successfully localizing SDGs will not be possible without financing circularity at the local level. LRGs need to work together with service providers, the private sector – including the informal sector – and individuals. Explaining the relevant local strategy to all stakeholders and investing in #capacitybuilding might have a positive contribution. The examples shared by #Accra (Ghana) and reflections from others like #Durban (South Africa) were valuable contributions to the discussion. As speakers concluded: the different actors in the waste management chain are the ones recreating #wealth from #waste, and it can be amplified if we move from landfill disposal to added value creation. More dialogue between #local, #national and #international stakeholders would contribute to making it happen. Thank you all speakers and participants for the valuable discussion.

We are attending Africa's Green Economy Summit next year. From 19-21 February 2025 in Cape Town, WastePlan will join changemakers and leaders working to drive Africa’s transition toward a sustainable, circular economy. This summit is more than an event, it is a call to action for bold, innovative solutions to protect our planet. At WastePlan, we are steadfast in our mission: Zero Waste to Landfill. Every choice we make reflects our commitment to transforming waste into opportunities and empowering businesses to achieve sustainable impact. We’re ready to connect, collaborate, and contribute to a future that thrives with our environment. Let’s create change together. Will we see you there?
