By: Staff Writer September 01, Colombo (LNW): In response to Sri Lanka's pressing solid waste management issues, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH has partnered with three of the country's largest Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) companies—Coca-Cola Sri Lanka Beverages Ltd. (along with The Coca-Cola Foundation), Nestlé, and Unilever—to launch a groundbreaking plastic waste management project. This initiative, named "Waste to Value," aims to address the plastic pollution crisis by enhancing infrastructure for plastic waste collection, segregation, recycling, and upcycling while fostering a shift towards a circular economy. Funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) under its develoPPP programme, the project will be executed in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Administration, Home Affairs, Provincial Councils, and Local Government.
