Plastic pollution is a wicked social problem in Nepal, nowhere more so than the capital city of Kathmandu. Kathmandu is a beautiful, vibrant, and totally unique city. However, visitors and inhabitants of this incredible city are surrounded by and choking in plastic pollution. Toxic fumes rise from people burning plastics, whilst riverbanks and landfills sites are filling up with waste, of which pl
astics account for 16% alone! To address the plastic problem in Kathmandu a movement built upon action, collaboration and large-scale behavioral change is needed, now! Kathmandu Recycles is a movement of young people fighting to accelerate pollution reduction, climate change adaptation and to create employment opportunities for Nepali young people. We believe passionately in the vision of a plastic free Kathmandu and we won’t stop until we achieve it
