Understanding the Waste Management Sector in India I WILDPLASTIC®

India. 1.4 billion people. 28 states. 22 official languages.
In October 2023 two of our colleagues traveled to India to learn about the waste management sector and meet all the people without whom our work as WILDPLASTIC® would not be possible.
This film documents their trip to Mumbai, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Momasar and Kerala and highlights various perspectives on waste management in India, always tackling the global discourse.
Primary plastic is still way too cheap while there are tons of plastic already produced waiting to be recycled. This needs to change globally!

Great work! Very interesting to get some insights of the plastic waste management in India. Hard to see though.

You are absolutely right. It is really hard to see through the structures of waste management worldwide and it was my goal to make it more graspable and transparent and show perspectives that usually don't get enough attention.
