- Our first priority is the education of government & private sector, the academia, community leaders and the general public on the urgent need to upgrade the management and disposal of rubbish as a preliminary remedy to eventually implement the Industrial Ecology and/or Circular Economy models in our Country as a way to solve the dilemma of trash.
