International research about waste
‘If you throw away your aluminum cans, they can stay in that can form for up to 500 years or more- so recycling is the way to go’
‘Around 1000 children die in India every year due to diseases caused from the polluted water’
‘Fresh water in the world is only 2.5% of the total water available on this planet’
‘80% of the water pollution is caused due to domestic sewage like throwing garbage on open ground and water bodies’
‘Different kinds of plastic can degrade at different times, but the average time for a plastic bottle to
completely degrade is at least 450 years. It can even take some bottles 1000 years to biodegrade!’

Waste implications in Malawi
‘There were no plastics 45 years ago. More costs go into cleaning the water now than ever before’. Chief of Area 3: worked at Waterboard from 1965 to 2010
Lilongwe 670,000 people 2010. 1,098,200 people 2016. Lilongwe is one of the fastest growing cities in the country. With growth comes major challenges dealing with waste management. ICC Malawi, Lilongwe 2016
‘Unused tobacco stems and the tobacco manufacturing process produces liquid, solid and airborne wastes, some of which are potential environmental hazards and may even pollute surface and ground waters’ Gunatilaka, 2006; 226 Mumba, P. P. and Phiri, R. Novonty and Zhao, 1999; USGS, 2005
Monitoring and evaluation office of community servings investment promotion statics show that in 2010 the city generated 109 tonnes of solid waste per day; of the total, 15% derives from industries, 25% from commercial areas, 20% from hospitals and 40% from residential areas.
‘Waste bins are not located at strategic points within the city’

7 out of 8 Millennium Development Goals
Bringing skills and employment gives an income
Environmental sensitization and education
Developing women’s groups with ideas to reuse and recycle
Cleaning the waters and therefore reducing chance of disease
Environmental sensitization and education
Linking everyone and implementing a holistic approach
Solutions Educate, Clean up & Recycle
‘If you throw away your aluminium cans, they can stay in that can form for up to 500 years or more- so recycling is the way to go’
‘Recycling is nothing but process of using old or waste products into new products’
‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’
‘Composting and recycling alone have prevented 85 million tons of waste to be dumped in 2010’
When working with nature things should move in a circle
These will be the descriptions on each bin as to what happens with the waste, giving details of all community initiatives it supports. It will be important to state the community groups, doing what activity, so people can understand it will be beneficial to use the recycling bins.
Solutions for Cape Maclear
• Involve all chiefs to adhere to using one waste collection system altogether
• Use all community groups and schools to educate them in environmental matters and how waste is valuable
• Have an environmental animation video in all video shops
• Build a recycling point
• Place 20 recycle bins on the front side of Cape Maclear. These will be collected and managed by 2 people.
• Support existing recycling initiatives and
implement new ones to use waste materials
• Promote and sell recycled objects in all lodges
• Organise workshops to design and build devices useful for the villages with all community groups
Recycle bins locations
Briquette makers from Chembe village
How to make compost step by step guides and laminated sheets around the village. Write the benefits of compost and give examples to grow food so people can see it works How to make briquettes step by step guides and laminated sheets around the village
Workshops with materials to design and build useful efficient devices Using waste that will compliment and ease people’s lives in the village This will give people good incentives to collect and recycle more waste
Cape Maclear can be our model village which we intend to advertise and use
as an example
We will then start new site surveys and research in different locations
There may be different waste and other needs that can be developed
with the communities
Other initiatives: Lake Of Stars in Chintheche, Nkhata Bay Proposal for a waste free Stage
Proposal for a recycled photo booth with the interactive glass bottle bench
Other initiatives: Recycling Points different themed designs depending on the waste found
