Introducing Waste to Wealth, an innovative project under the EU SWITCH Asia Grant ProgrammePrevent Plastics, was implemented in Myanmar in partnership with STENUM Asia. This platform aims to revolutionize waste management by diverting waste from landfills and the marine ecosystem and turning it into productive use.

Key Features of the Waste to Wealth Platform:

  1. Bilingual Interface: The platform is accessible in both English and Burmese, ensuring ease of use for a diverse audience.
  2. Resource Listings: Users can add waste resources for sale or purchase, providing a marketplace for exchanging materials.
  3. Listing Control: Users have complete control over their listings, allowing easy updates and management.
  4. Direct Communication: Buyers and sellers can chat directly through the platform, facilitating smooth transactions.
  5. Notification Match System: Users receive notifications about the availability of required resources, ensuring they never miss an opportunity.

The Waste to Wealth platform was officially launched on May 26th and introduced to our network of recyclers and SMEs in collaboration with our partners, STENUM Asia and Trash to Treasure. This launch marks a significant step towards sustainable waste management and resource utilization in Myanmar.
