Everyone produces waste. However, not every country has access to an effective system for managing waste in a way that prevents negative impacts on the local environment. Unregulated waste disposal sites pose a threat both to the environment and to human health. Therefore, we support innovative waste management solutions that minimise negative impacts on our planet and on local communities.
Waste Management
How do we use innovation to fight waste effectively?
Combating waste in rural Moldova
Rural regions of Moldova continue to face challenges related to unregulated waste disposa and the absence of an effective waste management system.
Caritas Czech Republic assists local authorities in starting sustainable waste management practices. We support local residents in reducing waste production and recycling correctly. We promote composting as a way to manage organic waste and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Cleaner countryside in Georgia
Rural development is just as important as urban development. In the mountainous regions of Georgia, we help to develop waste management infrastructure and provide training to local people on waste sorting. We have acquired waste collection vehicles and support the development of recycling infrastructure.
We also introduce the benefits of composting to farmers in mountainous areas to reduce the environmental impact of organic waste.
