If the linear “take-make-waste” model continues to be the modus operandi for Indonesian businesses, the country is poised to produce a staggering amount of 155.3 million tonnes of waste collectively from five industries — food and beverage, textiles, wholesale retail and trade, construction, and electronics — by 2030 according to a recent report by the Ministry of National Planning and Development Indonesia (BAPPENAS), UNDP, and the Government of Demark.
This session will present the main findings of The Weight of Cities in Latin America and the Caribbean that looks into the consumption in the region. The report builds on the 2018 International Resource Panel global report with a similar title, which emphasized the cumulative benefits from integrated approaches in cities making the global transition to a sustainable future.
This workshop organized by the Green Industry Platform, in collaboration with the Global Opportunities for Sustainable Development Goals (GO4SDGs), focuses on how to bridge the communication gap between brands/retailers and the SMEs in their supply chains through the different tiers. This involves SMEs involved in textile production, yarn and fabric production, as well as fibre production
Co-hosted by United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), P4G Partnerships and WRAP, this online event will build on UNEP’s Food Waste Index report to demonstrate that food waste is a global issue.
By taking part in this challenge, all participants and influencers can have a positive impact within their community and contribute to a global movement targeting policy makers around the world in 2022.
