Technical Specialist waste managent
My future goal is to develop and scale a comprehensive waste management business model. The importance of this model lies in its potential to address the growing challenges within our existing service model, which has now reached its maximum capacity. Currently, the total waste generation in the country amounts to 10,000 metric tons per day, yet only 3,600 metric tons are being collected. This leaves a significant gap in waste management, with over 6,000 metric tons unaccounted for daily.
The only viable solution to manage this surplus effectively is through the implementation of a robust business model. By transitioning from a purely service-based approach to a business-oriented framework, we can enhance efficiency, incentivize waste reduction and recycling, and create sustainable economic opportunities. My aim is to introduce and promote this business model across the country, ensuring that we can manage waste more effectively, reduce environmental impact, and support livelihood development through innovative waste management practices.
