Our Projects

Explore projects developed with communities, institutions, businesses and public partners to strengthen waste systems, improve everyday practices and build lasting local capacity.

Local action shaped by local realities

Waste-management challenges differ between mountain settlements, tourism destinations, institutions, businesses and growing urban areas. Geography, seasonal populations, road access, infrastructure, public participation and local capacity all influence what will work.

Our projects respond to these conditions through practical systems, community engagement, training, behaviour-change communication, partnerships and ongoing learning.

What our projects may involve

Waste-system development

Supporting segregation, collection, processing, recovery and responsible disposal systems suited to local conditions.

Community participation

Working with residents, workers, institutions and local leaders to strengthen understanding and everyday participation.

Training and local capacity

Building practical knowledge among operators, educators, volunteers, businesses and implementing partners.

Communication and behaviour change

Using campaigns, posters, films, activities and public-space interventions to make better waste practices easier to understand and adopt.

A note on project information

Project pages describe work undertaken in particular locations and operating conditions. An approach that worked in one setting may require changes elsewhere. Before adapting a project model, assess the local waste stream, geography, infrastructure, permissions, worker safety responsibilities, available skills and long-term operating capacity.
