Trash alchemy is the global revolution of transforming waste into a valuable resource.
The circular economy offers a solution to turn waste into a resource that fuels industries, revitalizes communities, and heals the planet.
Examples of waste transformation include plastic bricks for construction, biogas from food scraps powering cities, and Olympic medals made from recycled e-waste.
Trash alchemy has the economic potential of unlocking trillions in global benefits and environmental wins, but challenges include the exploitation of informal recyclers and infrastructure gaps.
