Recycling.. What is it?
Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into reusable objects to prevent waste of useful materials. Recyclable materials include many kinds of glass, paper and cardboard, metal, plastic, tires, textiles and electronics.
Recycling.. Why do it?
Recycling is a great way for us to reduce the level of natural resources we remove from our land. The more we take now, the less for our children’s futures. The more we learn to recycle now the less we will use land fill refuse sites that destroy and pollute our countryside.
Recycling.. Why save our trees?
Trees purify the very air that we breathe. They help the planet breathe by turning carbon dioxide into clean, pure oxygen. We must save the trees we have left to preserve the air quality left for our children.
Recycling.. Where to start?
Recycling starts with you! Instead of throwing away your household or industrial waste, take a minute to think….. Can I put my tins to one side and maybe my bottles to another? Great, now when I pass by my nearest recycle centre I can drop in my saved recyclables and feel pleased that I have contributed to a sustainable future for my children and fellow citizens of Zambia.
Be a Part of Recycling Kanyama
The Government of Zambia with support from the World Bank and the Global Environment Facility is implementing a project entitled, Environmental Health and Pollution Management Project (EHPMP), has an objective to reduce unintentionally produced organic pollutants pollution in pilot sites and strengthen the institutional capacity to manage and regulate solid waste and e-waste in Zambia.
The proposed EHPMP is aligned with the WBG’s twin goals of ending extreme poverty and promoting shared prosperity. The EHPMP is aligned with and will support the objectives of Pillars 1 and 2 of the Bank’s Africa Strategy – competitiveness and employment, and vulnerability and resilience, and the foundations of the strategy – governance and public-sector capacity. EHPMP will promote sustainable inclusive growth by improving access to environmental services through knowledge sharing and capacity building. EHPMP will further strengthen human capital by improving health of vulnerable populations, especially children. The EHPMP will complement other regional initiatives and individual projects, focusing on competitiveness, sustainability and governance. Read More...
