targeting 150Countries

Millions will be involvedduring the WCUD
With a wide range of tools we can tell where the Litter
problems are located
Take a picture, use a APP or Tell a leader the location.
Fun, Fast, Easy and a reason to go outside
Meet at the trash points and collect litter into moveable
containers
Trucks, Cars, Wheels of all kinds help haul away Litter
BUILDING VISUAL TOOLS TO OVERCOME“TRASH BLINDNESS”
World Waste Platform
Open source data tool for citizens, academics, policy-makers, education and business groups to SEE THE WASTE and plan solutions.SEE THE WASTE and plan solutions.- Maps and vizualizes data- Helps plan solutionshttps://opendata.letsdoitworld.org/
World Waste Index
Mirrors and benchmarks the state of country’s waste management.

Long term vision and guidelines for sound management of waste, Long term vision and guidelines for sound management of waste, matching the principles of circular economy (EU/international definition)
and embedding Zero Waste vision and practices (cascading use of resources, highest and best options to be prioritized)
The “cascading principle”
Retain resources in the loopin their highest status, for as long as possible. for as long as possible.
Key principles
• Software (organisation, involvement, rethinking, behavioralchange) at least as important as hardware (infrastructure)
• Kerbside/curbside (and related adaptations) key to keep• Kerbside/curbside (and related adaptations) key to keeppeople responsible
• Organics a cornerstone (biological cycle)
• Quantitative importance
• Operational importance
• better management of materials in the Technical cycle: packaging, WEEEs, C&D, etc.
Grading the system up in the Global South
• Dumpsites• Low-tech pretreatment (windrowing)
• Simple, low-tech material recovery system• Simple, low-tech material recovery system• Pivotal role of organics! • Key role of informal sector (wastepickers,
scavengers, etc.) • Regulatory architecture
• Initiatives on SUPs• EPRs (consider local relationships with informal
sector/local initiatives)
A wise, motivating workplan
•Keeps ambition high (long-term goals) while addressingthe issues of today
•Zero Waste more the journey, than the destination•Zero Waste more the journey, than the destination•Blends informal/local knowledge with formal expertise • Top-down supplemented by bottom-up•Dissemination/cross contamination
•“Always happy, never satisfied”
Be bold, be brave!
