With the Project:
Waste Academy “Changjiji – A Zero-Waste Model Community”

The program focuses on reducing unwanted waste to minimize landfill pollution and protect local environments and groundwater. Using a community participatory approach, it engages both parents and children in waste reduction from the source. The program promotes the benefits of reusing, upcycling, and composting waste, as well as selling recyclable materials. Only 8-10% of waste will be incinerated, with a focus on further reducing the generation of unwanted waste.
