Cooperation with alliances
Waste management projects require cooperation with local authorities, local waste management and recycling companies and solution providers.
EndPlasticSoup collaborates with international alliances that provide best practices solutions:
- Technology without Borders for best practices waste management solutions including collection, composting and incineration (https://www.teog.ngo/?lang=en)
- Save Plastics for composting and mixed plastic waste upcycling (https://saveplastics.nl/en/home-eng/)

- Precious Plastics and Sustainable Design Studio for plastic recycling solutions (https://www.sustainabledesign.studio/about).
Examples projects
Waste management projects should include education and awareness campaigns and need a project plan with sustainable solutions, a community assessment and SMART objectives and measurements. Example project documents could be used from other EndPlasticSoup Global Grant projects.
