TakaNiAjira Foundation’s Post

From scavenging plastic waste to sorting through paper and cardboard, waste pickers are the backbone of our waste management system. Yet, their vital role often goes unnoticed. At TakaNiAjira Foundation, we recognize the invaluable contribution of waste pickers. They toil tirelessly in often hazardous conditions, yet receive minimal compensation for their efforts. Despite these challenges, they remain steadfast in keeping our communities clean and sustainable. We are proud to reaffirm our commitment to empowering waste pickers. They are not just workers but essential waste management value chain players. By supporting and uplifting them, we enhance their livelihoods and strengthen our collective efforts towards a more sustainable future. Together, let's ensure that they receive the respect, support, and compensation they truly deserve. #BeProudOfEachKilo #LetsValueWastePickers #TakaNiAjira #LightToWasteVoiceForWastePickers ISWA International Solid Waste Association WIEGO - Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing GAIA (Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives) Africa Circular Economy Research and Policy Network (ACERPiN) International Alliance of Waste Pickers UNDP Tanzania UNDP Accelerator Labs Alliance to End Plastic Waste Plastic Pollution Coalition Umesh Madhavan Fair Circularity Initiative The Circulate Initiative Eng.

While waste pickers like Chweya, Njoroge, and Wangari fight tooth and nail for a robust #PlasticsTreaty that implements a just transition for waste pickers, the fossil fuel industry — responsible for 98% of plastic production — has also been hard at work, attempting to drown out their voices and undermine the negotiations.

🌍 Did you know that less than 10% of the seven billion tonnes of plastic waste generated globally has been recycled? Millions of tonnes of plastic waste end up lost in our environment or shipped far away, often being burned or dumped. This is a major problem facing our planet. ♻️ In our quest to combat plastic waste, we believe empowering waste pickers is key to increasing the quantity and quality of waste collected for recycling. Official data shows that waste pickers are responsible for collecting 60% of all plastic waste channeled for recycling. 💚 At TakaNiAjira Foundation, we remain steadfast in implementing social innovative programs that uplift waste pickers. Through these initiatives, we aim to enhance the quantity and quality of plastic waste collected by waste pickers, thereby reducing the growing plastic waste generation. #LightToWasteVoiceToWastePickers #LetsValueWastePickers #BeProudOfEachKilo ISWA International Solid Waste Association WIEGO - Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing International Alliance of Waste Pickers GAIA (Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives) Africa Circular Economy Research and Policy Network (ACERPiN) UNDP Tanzania UNDP Accelerator Labs Alliance to End Plastic Waste Plastic Pollution Coalition Umesh Madhavan Fair Circularity Initiative Eng.

Informal waste workers play a pivotal role in Vietnam's efforts to reduce plastic waste. As the nation progresses towards a sustainable waste management system, integrating these workers into #ExtendedProducerResponsibility initiatives becomes paramount. Recognizing their contributions and providing opportunities for involvement in #EPR programs can enhance waste management practices and uplift the livelihoods of these marginalized groups. https://lnkd.in/gibN7zZK
