The World Bank’s Solid Waste Management Knowledge Silo Breaker is a community of practice created to share knowledge between practitioners of all affiliations. Through document sharing, discussions, and events, it aims to increase the awareness of solid waste issues and innovations across the globe.
The community’s objectives are: share experiences and resources to learn from solid waste management projects across the World Bank Group; further technical knowledge; strengthen projects by including environmental, social, urban, gender, sustainable financing, and climate perspectives and expertise when relevant; and learn about the latest innovations globally.

    • Market Study for Thailand: Plastics Circularity Opportunities and Barriers

    Plastics are an integral and important  part of the global and Thai economies. Since the 1950s the use of plastic products has expanded twenty-fold owing to their low cost, various functional properties, durability and wide range of applications. Mismanaged plastic waste from land-based sources, especially in the form of packaging, generates significant economic costs globally and in Thailand by reducing the productivity of vital natural systems and clogging urban infrastructure.

    • Good Practice Options for Sustainable Solid Waste Management in Mountain Areas of India, Nepal, and Pakistan

    Solid waste management (SWM) is a vital responsibility of municipal governments worldwide and is one of the biggest challenges faced by urban authorities. Waste generation is increasing at a rapid pace, exceeding the financial and technical capacities of local governments to collect, treat, and dispose of this waste. In the South Asia region, India, Nepal, and Pakistan share one common geographic characteristic - the high peaks of the Himalayan mountain range.

  • Abstract

    • Technical Guidance Report: Sustainable Solid Waste Management in Mountain Areas of India, Nepal, and Pakistan

    Pakistan, India, and Nepal share one common ecological characteristic: the snow-capped mountain peaks of the Himalayan mountain range. The mountains bestow these countries with pristine landscapes and are the headwaters of many rivers. Concurrently, this unique mountain ecology offers these countries an opportunity to foster a green economy that leverages these natural assets for economic growth. However, these mountain ecosystems are fragile and must be well managed to ensure the livability of communities and environmental sustainability.

    • Nepal: Sustainable Solid Waste Management in Mountain Areas

    Nepal conjures up images of the Himalayas, climbing expeditions, tranquility in nature, and adventure holidays, making the country one of the most sought-after destinations for nature-based tourism. Ecologically sensitive areas as well as mountainous regions face some similar challenges when it comes to solid waste management (SWM). This study recommends that solutions need to be steadily built on a framework in order to successfully and sustainably manage mountain waste.
