Emergency Disaster Response by CREASION embodies the motto Building Back Better, providing immediate relief while empowering communities for long-term resilience. Beneficiaries actively participate in planning and implementing changes. Always on standby, we’ve responded to crises such as the 2015 earthquake, 2017 floods, and the 2020 COVID-19 outbreak, delivering vital relief and rehabilitation.

Our efforts have enabled children to return to school, supported households in regaining stability, and helped communities rebuild their lives. CREASION remains at the forefront, protecting the most vulnerable and ensuring sustainable recovery in the face of disasters.

Preventing Plastic in Nepal’s Rivers aims to tackle plastic pollution by establishing collection points along rivers to intercept waste at the source. With Kathmandu’s growing population, 27% of waste is dumped on riverbanks, contributing to environmental degradation. This project will pilot a locally run plastic recycling facility, managing both high- and low-quality plastics, which currently lack proper processing in Nepal.

By enhancing the informal waste sector, especially empowering marginalized women waste pickers, the project seeks to increase plastic recovery and prevent littering, turning plastic waste into valuable resources while promoting sustainable waste management practices.

Green Shift: Circularity of Plastic Waste for Net-Zero Carbon Nepal (GreenShift Nepal) is a four-year project funded by the European Union and led by CREASION, in partnership with Restless Development and Youth Innovation Lab. Implemented in nine municipalities across Bagmati, Madhesh, and Lumbini provinces, the project promotes a circular economy by minimizing plastic waste and integrating it into the product value chain.

It aims to strengthen waste enterprises, support SMEs in developing plastic alternatives, engage schoolchildren and youths in awareness campaigns, and enhance government capacity for inclusive, evidence-based policies, driving Nepal towards a sustainable, net-zero carbon future.

Project CAP (Collaborative Approach for Preventing Plastic Leakages in Rivers of Nepal)
A project run by CREASION, aims to divert plastic waste into product value chain from landfills and rivers by strengthening plastic waste collection mechanism and strengthening recycling efforts through the introduction of technological innovations.

The project will develop a collaborative model to engage all the major stakeholders in establishing a strong plastic waste value chain. Project CAP is one of the projects by the PLEASE (Plastic Free Rivers and Seas of South Asia) in Nepal, which is implemented by the South Asia Cooperative Environment Program (SACEP), supported by United Nations Procurement Services Secretariat (UNOPS) and the World Bank.
