he amount of waste produced by humans is skyrocketing – and it is expected to increase 70% by 2050. There is an urgent need to reduce the strain on the environment and communities around the world – especially those that are most vulnerable and marginalized. As a start, waste collection needs to be more effective and efficient, while recovery of the value from waste streams must be enhanced. 

How can digital tools help?

As Delterra’s project lead for digital innovation, I have seen first-hand just how much is possible when tools are designed and implemented in a comprehensive and inclusive manner. I’ve also spotted some barriers that are currently holding us back.
