What if we turned waste into opportunities for people on the move? Disasters and extreme weather events often leave a mountain of plastic waste and trash behind. IOM’s innovative project on waste management, “Closing the Loop”, transforms humanitarian challenges into sustainable, circular solutions for communities in the Philippines. In Albay, the project uses blockchain-verified plastic collection, innovative financing, and partnerships with local waste collectors to reduce waste, formalize livelihoods, and create environmental value. If your company has Extended Producer Responsibility obligations, plastic stewardship targets or innovations in plastic recycling and wants to explore partnering with IOM in the next phase of this project, please get in touch at washsupport@iom.int
