LITTER FREE

LITTER FREE: A clean-up campaign held yesterday in Windhoek’s informal settlement brought together the a delegation of the European Union (EU) to Namibia, its member states and local partners in a unified effort to tackle urban waste management and promote environmental sustainability.

The initiative, part of the broader global #EUBeachCleanupCampaign and EU Green Diplomacy Weeks, went beyond merely collecting waste. It spotlighted innovative approaches to tackling urban waste challenges, including the EU-funded Waste Buy-Back Centre. This €2.2 million (N$42 million) project, according to the EU, is transforming solid waste management in Windhoek by promoting recycling and converting waste into reusable materials.
