The Problem

There are currently 4.7 million plastic bags used in Kathmandu, Nepal on the daily basis. Without any inadequate waste management system in place, streets and rivers are flooded with plastic waste. This particularly affects the slum areas of Nepal, where the community face health hazards due to the ever growing urban pollution and where poverty perpetuates pollution further.

​

Sansar's Solution

Sansar empowers the community to tackle the thriving waste problem by providing each waste collector an exchange of rice per kilogram of plastic collected.

Sansar commits to providing a sustainable waste management solution that empowers local individuals and communities, changes damaging behaviours and supports some of the major industries in Nepal.
