Beyon an Age of Waste

Turning rubbish into a resource?

Municipal solid waste is projected to grow from 2.1 to 3.8 billion tonnes by 2050…

80% increase!

Unless urgent action is taken.

According to the Global Waste Management Outlook 2024:
– 38% of global waste remains uncontrolled (dumped or openly burned)
– Only 19% of municipal waste is recycled or reused worldwide.
– <40% of MSW is collected in low-income countries, where services are limited.

On more thing:

This waste crisis is unequal:
– In low-income regions, waste is largely organic
– In high-income regions, we see more packaging, electronics, and single-use materials

What is the solution?

Simple.

Circular Economy.
