This automated approach can be used in any other city around the world, helping to reduce how much waste enters local waterways and reaches the ocean.
Water at informal settlements, where sanitation and waste management facilities were absent, had high bacteria levels.
Waste management should be treated as an essential service, and in Nigeria that means recognising informal workers.
From a purely environmental perspective, owning multiple reusable face masks, and machine-washing them together, is the best option.
New Zealand's potential to expand its domestic recycling sector is enormous. It could create jobs and divert millions of tonnes of waste from landfills, as long as there are clear, measurable targets.
We investigated plastic recycling in the UK and uncovered startling inconsistencies.
The federal government today announced $1 billion plan to divert more than ten million tonnes of waste from landfill. But waste management is about more than just recycling.
The Aztecs had a shining city on a lake, with canals, causeways and aqueducts – until the Spanish came. Mexico City is still suffering the consequences of their bad public health decisions.

A floating park made from discarded plastic in Rotterdam could spark new thinking on how we manage waste.
Since China stopped importing 'foreign garbage' in March 2018, scrap – especially plastic – has built up in the US. Will this shock trigger long-overdue investments in plastic recycling here?
