Behaviour Change

Effective waste management depends on more than infrastructure. It also depends on people understanding, adopting and sustaining new behaviours—from segregating waste at source to reducing litter and participating in community initiatives.

Explore practical communication and behaviour-change resources developed through real-world waste-management programmes, including posters, booklets, murals, signboards, campaigns and films.

From local challenges to practical solutions

Waste challenges are shaped by geography, infrastructure, public behaviour, seasonal pressures and local capacity. Our work brings these factors together through community engagement, practical systems, training, partnerships and continuous learning.

This section brings together the projects we have implemented, the lessons emerging from the field and the communication resources created to help people take action.
