Waste to Art

Waste to Art is the way for us to showcase that something beautiful is hidden inside the material we throw away. Through this visual representation we wish to change the perception around waste. By attracting artists and allowing them to experiment with these unusual materials, we wish to inspire locals and visitors to be more conscious of the environmental impact their actions might have.

Through the waste to product initiative, we aim to change the perception around waste by showing locals and visitors that with creativity, waste can be upcycled into a new high quality functional product.

Sustainable Development Goals

Sustainability in the Khumbu region

Sagarmatha Next aims to be the next frontier for tourism, sustainability and the environment. We hope that the symbolism of Sagarmatha Next can inspire people to be more sensitive and careful with the environment and support practical means to address real challenges in the mountain regions of the world. Sagarmatha next aims to contribute to the United Nations SDG 6, 12, 13 and 17 that includes reducing waste generation, sanitation, reducing climate impact and partnerships.
