#Circulareconomy #startups,
#Robries, and #pFibre, based in #Indonesia, and #Singapore, respectively are part of an emerging #entrepreneurial movement attempting to change economic 'hearts-and-minds' about the future of consumerism across #SoutheastAsia. The #pandemic impact on overall economic conditions, however, has created a degree of uncertainty in prospective funding and investment designed to advanced #sustainableeconomy. #SDG12 #SDG11

#HCM, a city of 10 Mil ppl does not have a formal #recycling system, but generates nearly 10K tonnes of #municipal #SW per day. A ltd. group of emerging businesses operate to repurpose #plasticswaste into 'new' consumer items, #ISCs are not formally recognised by local govt., #landfill operations are expanded, but #WTE is an increasingly acceptable govt. option, and amended #environmentallaw is hampered by lack of compliance/enforcement. What's the solution? #SDG12, not.

#Bloobox is a new #recycling initiative from the #Singapore #NEA to help encourage #civilsociety to embrace participation in
#CircularEconomy. Designed by a team of students @ #SIT, Bloobox is cubic foldable, cleanable recycling container w/clear & simple instructions for #paper #plastics #metal #glass #WEEE. When full @ 5kg residents empty #recyclables into blue recycling bins, building recycling chutes, or ewaste bins for electronics. #SDG12

A looming, mainly #WEEE #hazardouswaste crisis is coming to the #AsiaPacific region. And as w/most #toxic #pollution #lowincome #communities such as those across #ASEAN will likely be disproportionately impacted. #Singapore-based NEU's #NUS-developed electrochemical technology that #recycles #Li @ a 95% recovery rate, and up to 100X less #polluting than heat or acid methods. The NUS method is exclusive to LFP EV batteries. #SDG12 #ASEANsustainable #goodAQIsaveslives

A 2022 #UNESCAP report found the #pandemic to have a measurable negative effect on #SDG efforts w/in the #AsiaPacific region. Despite some increases in available indicator data (by country), there remains a global region-wide lag. For South-East Asia there was a nearly 40% absence or insufficiency of data. Also observed was a regional reversal of indicator progress for #SDG6 #SDG11 and #SDG12, UN goals that call for reductions in #solidwaste & other #toxic #pollution.

With a 7-fold increase in #solidwaste over the last 40 yrs., and space in #Semakau, (#Singapore's only #landfill) projected to runout by 2035, the country's govt. has developed a nationwide '2030 #sustainability plan' that looks to incorporate a #zerowaste-target masterplan calling for a transition from linear to #closedloop (#cleanerproduction), and #CircularEconomy. #ASEANsustainable #SDG12 #SDG11

Four Asian nations includ. #Vietnam and #Indonesia have agreed to work together to implement a $43-billion (USD) programme intended to manage and reduce the use of #toxicchemicals in clothing manufac. The 5-year initiative aims to enact #publicpolicy and practice to 1. incr. #supplychain transparency, 2. invest for #chemical management, and #EcoInnovation, and 3. foster a business environment that would enable phase-out of chemicals of concern. #cleanerproduction #SDG12

It's a story repeated over and over again in #SoutheastAsia. Unconstrained #urbanised intensification (not limited to laundry businesses, residential garbage dumping, metal prodctn. and other #industrial and #consumer services) in and around HCM City continues to serve as major #pollution conduit to the Sài Gòn-Đồng Nai River. And only 13% of #wastewater is treated before release. #SDG3.9 #SDG6.3 #SDG11.6 #SDG12.4 #SDG12.5 #SDG12.6 #Fail

RT @earsc: Data analysis of consumption patterns can help on the efficient #wastemanagement or #foodwaste policies and regulations for which some #EO services contribute providing data on harvest exceedance.
