We provide support to the local stakeholders of the Khumbu region to bring innovative and sustainable solutions for solid waste management

The Waste Management Master Plan
The plan offers solutions for the ever-increasing waste management challenges and provides a comprehensive plan for the management of the waste generated by tourists and locals. It equips local organizations to better manage the waste that is left behind in this fragile mountain valley.
Developed with the joint hard work and dedication of Blue Waste to Value and the Professors Alton Byers, Milan Shrestha & Netra Chhetri, plus inputs from local stakeholders, for SPCC.
SPC will be encouraged to use the funds generated at Sagarmatha Next to develop and implement the plan along the trekking routes based on the guidelines mentioned in the report.
Publication in MRD
This Waste Management Master Plan has been reviewed by experts and published by the prestigious international scientific journal Mountain Research Development (MRD).
Towards improving waste management

Exploring more solutions
Along with SPCC, we are continuously exploring more solutions to improve the waste management practices in the area.

Accreditation to the lodges
Along with SPCC, we are working to create a system to accredit the lodges that follow sustainable waste management practices.

Crowdsourced waste removal
We have tested and implemented a crowdsourced waste removal system - carry me back - where locals and visitors can contribute to remove the waste in the area.

Reduction of volume of waste
We are exploring how to reduce the volume of waste hence reducing the transportation costs for its removal.
