Wastewards

Wastewards seeks to integrate value chains in solid waste management in low-income countries, currently operating in Indonesia. In such countries solid waste services are often carried out by various service providers. Frequently, these providers operate independently and use unconnected value chains. Wastewards intends to enhance continuity and resilience of value chains and allow for an equal access of different service providers to a shared system. In harmonising value chains, Wastewards contributes to a more efficient use of manpower and resources and to increase recycling rates and acceptance in the population. Wastewards covers service allocation, value chain maintenance, and quality control.
