At its core, the initiative aims to strengthen integrated PET waste management systems, boost PET recovery and upgrade Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs), reduce plastic leakage and associated carbon emissions, empower informal waste workers, youth, and local partners, foster behavioral change through education and awareness, and establish zero-waste and circular models in areas with significant human traffic.
Climate Smart Cities is CREASION’s initiative to reduce the adverse effects of plastic pollution by strengthening Nepal’s existing recycling system through a circular economy model. Implemented in Kathmandu Valley and Bharatpur (Bagmati Province), the project focuses on high footfall and plastic hotspot areas where targeted interventions can generate measurable environmental and social impact.
