CREATING VALUE CHAINS

To sustain a long-lasting impact,

CLOCC works closely with local stakeholders

Local Authorities / Municipal Solid Waste System

Private Sector / Unorganized Waste Pickers

Community Leaders

The stakeholders are commonly local authorities, who are responsible for the municipal solid waste system, and the private sector. In many developing countries these predominantly consist of non-organised waste pickers working in the informal sector. The improvement of waste management systems must integrate the informal sector. Another important stakeholder is local community leaders. We connect community leaders with local authorities to develop inclusive waste management systems with broad ownership.

CLOCC TRAINING

Blended Learning Approach

We utilise a blended learning approach, which consists of a mix of in-person training, workshops, field trips and site visits, digital lectures, video material and e-learning. This way, we build capacity and skills on the local level, which is key to achieving sustainable improved waste management.

Consequently we can also reduce time, costs and the environmental footprint related to travel, while still drawing on the benefits of in-person learning and interactions.

Aim for 100% collection (or home treatment)

Promote separation at source

Create integrated and participatory Waste Management Plans

Collect reliable data

Engage and work with all relevant stakeholders

Reduce waste generation

Ensure that biodegradables don’t go to landfills

Recycle by increasing material recovery

Make management of the residual stream affordable and controlled

Ensure appropriate governance structures on national and regional levels

Finance through structural revenue sources

Monitor progress, then make adjustments

GRASSROOTS IMPACT

Our Global Pool of

Trainers and Mentors

The collective expertise of our trainers covers all the most fundamental aspects of integrated sustainable waste management. Through their skills and knowledge, we can contribute to increase the capacity needed to significantly reduce marine littering and plastic pollution - and achieve clean oceans.

The CLOCC project will assign mentors to follow up and support throughout each waste management planning process, from the pool of trainers.
