Waste
The Global South can lead on climate solutions but lacks resources: Quezon city mayor Joy Belmonte
The former archeologist and Eco-Business Sustainability A-List winner shares how she has brought the Philippines' most populous city to the forefront of global discussions on climate and plastic pollution.
The prevalence of a "sachet economy" is stretching waste management capabilities in the country. Lawmakers are suggesting an amendment of the current Extended Producer Responsibility Act to expand its coverage to include medium-sized firms.
While informal waste pickers are often seen as competitors to the formal sector, they must be accorded dignity for their expertise and the hard labour they put in, say industry experts at the launch of Eco-Business' new film investigating the region's waste crisis.
Can India follow in China’s footsteps and bend the curve with its declared war on pollution? Latest data shows that political will and strong policies are needed to bring about air quality improvements.
