From the Himalaya’s by Super Local
To deal with the waste of the Himalaya’s 80.000 annual visitors, Super Local developed an end-to-end process, including setting up an appropriate plastics workspace, building two hand-operated plastic injection machines, and training the local staff in collaboration with Sagarmatha Next.
Climbers carry back the shredded aluminum and plastic waste to make souvenirs.
