Every compost pile turned = less methane, healthier soil, and more dignity in waste work. This facility isn’t just about waste—it's about community ownership, climate mitigation, and creating value from what was once seen as trash.

Action on the ground: We’ve already filled and turned the first compost chamber, a crucial milestone. This isn’t a trial run—it’s real, ongoing impact. #ThisIsZeroWaste #TakaSifuriTz

We’ve handed over PPE and waste carts to the Simu2000 waste collectors’ group. They’re now empowered with the tools to drive clean change. #ThisIsZeroWaste #TakaSifuriTz

Our composting journey began with training waste collectors from Simu2000 Market—turning them into on-ground champions. Now, they lead daily composting operations with the skills & equipment to make it work. #ThisIsZeroWaste #TakaSifuriTz

Why this matters? Organic waste in landfills = methane, a gas 25x more potent than CO₂. By composting, we're cutting emissions, improving soil health, & boosting the circular economy. #ThisIsZeroWaste #TakaSifuriTz

This facility now diverts organic waste from 164+ vendors, transforming fruit & veggie scraps into nutrient-rich compost—instead of methane-spewing landfill rot. #ThisIsZeroWaste #TakaSifuriTz

At least 50% of plastic waste ends up in landfills. The reality is plastic never really goes away. We need to cut plastic production and switch to reuse and refill systems ASAP. #BreakFreeFromPlastic #PlasticPollution #PlasticTreaty #plasticwaste #plasticistoxic
