With experience gained from various solid waste management projects in collaboration with partners like the World Bank, UNDP Accelerator Lab, BORDA Tanzania, and Green Waste Pro, OMDTZ has been actively testing and implementing innovative ideas to contribute to global initiatives addressing littering and solid waste challenges. Normary, waste (plastics, packaging, paper, bottles, building materials, biodegradable waste, and large objects) is discarded in the environment, often due to ineffective trash collection methods and direct human actions. It is dispersed by wind, water, and scavengers, originating from uncovered bins, open waste bags, and human dumping, spreading through landscapes via rivers and drainage systems, ultimately reaching the ocean.
The panel discussion will center around comprehending the waste ecosystem, covering waste production to disposal. The presentations will be categorized into four sections, highlighting OMDTZ's innovative use-cases and lessons learned, followed by discussions among the panelists on identified gaps and future directions. The presentations will focus on…
Community behavior, The team will share their collective experiences of conducting household surveys in various regions over a span of three years, focusing on community behavior, waste production, and storage at the household level. The presentation will delve into aspects such as community behavior patterns, satisfaction levels, willingness to pay for waste management services, understanding of the 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) concept, and the team's recommendations based on their findings.
Waste Collection Services Provider; This will focus on waste collection service providers and identifying the challenges they typically face include understanding regarding the number of clients they serve, difficulties in route planning, and other pertinent situations. The presentation will also highlight how the utilization of GIS (Geographic Information System) and innovative solutions can assist in addressing some of these challenges.
Accessibility and transportation: In terms of accessibility and transportation, the team will share their experience of utilizing buildings and road data from OpenStreetMap for analyzing house accessibility during fecal sludge management. This analysis considers factors such as road width, proximity of buildings to accommodate the width of trucks and smaller vehicles, and the potential for extending truck pipes up to 100 meters, which will also be captured in the accessibility analysis.
Government, Policy and Data:This will focus on various interventions carried out in collaboration with the government. It will highlight how policies directly impact solid waste management, particularly in areas such as the placement of landfills and fecal sludge treatment centers. The presentation will also discuss policies related to taxes for recycling, waste collection services fee and all related costs
