It’s good to start with a few numbers with a greater focus. So we are trying to find more meaningful recycling and up-cycling for 18 of the common trash outcomes. We are looking forward to increase the range to find more solutions for landfills

Problem
to Solve
Global Economic impact of ocean and landfill plastic is estimated at Staggering USD 2.5 Trillion a year. Sri Lanka is one of the leading plastic polluters in the world. About 1,400 MT of PET plastic is generated every month within Sri Lanka and only 250-275 MT is recycled although our capacity to recycle is 600 MT. The rest (1,150 MT) is collected as landfill or ocean plastic. With rest of the plastic types we have estimated about 5,000-7,000 MT of plastic waste per month. This is roughly about 1 kg of plastic per household per month.
There are many reasons for this problem including lack of awareness for Reuse, Reduce usage of plastic and segregation of waste. We need solutions for all of these! ZeroTrash picked one of the main reasons for plastic trash which is collectors problem – i.e. traditional methods of plastic collection and transport to recycler is not economically viable

Our Contribution

SDG 3 : Good health
We collect the recyclable solid waste, including Plastic, Paper, Glass and Metal etc. by reducing illnesses from hazardous chemicals, and air, water and soil pollution and contamination.

SDG 9 : Innovation and Infrastructure
We research and develop technologies that radically change in the current world We engage in innovations with sustainability in mind, as we address cost and scalability changes. As our customers undergo digital transformation, we have digitalized our business start-up to provide quick and efficient customer service.

SDG 11 : Sustainable cities and communities
We provide a trustworthy service to reduce the adverse environmental impacts of cities, special attention to plastic waste management in Sri Lanka.

SDG 12 : Responsible consumption
We lead to eliminating uncontrolled dumping and open burning as the first stepping-stone to achieving environmentally sound solid waste management practices.

SDG 13 :Climate action
We collect recyclable waste and outsource it for the recycling process to combat climate change and its impacts. We believe adequate solid waste management practices can prevent the emission of large amounts of greenhouse gases.

SDG 14 : Life below water
We extend waste collection across the country and eliminate uncontrolled dumping to prevent waste from ending up in the marine environment. We involve in preventing marine pollution of all kinds, in particular from land-based activities, including marine debris.

SDG 15 : Life on land
We ensure the conservation of terrestrial and inland freshwater ecosystems and their services by preventing Waste Accumulation.

SDG 17 :Partnerships for the goals
We work together with many government authorities and non-government organizations, to get to the bottom of the plastic problem in Sri Lanka.
