WINDHOEK, April 12 (Xinhua) -- Namibia on Friday inaugurated its first waste buyback center (WBBC) which will see residents earn income by collecting and selling recyclable materials at an event held in the informal settlement of Katutura in Windhoek, the Namibian capital.
Established under the project "Improving Solid Waste Management in Windhoek," financed by the European Union and implemented jointly with the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen, the WBBC is to reduce waste volumes, minimize harmful environmental effects, promote recycling, and create job opportunities through startup incubation focusing on waste reengineering.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
