Enough plastic is thrown away each year to circle the earth 4 times. In Uganda alone of the over 3,000,000 tons of waste generated each year, only eight per cent is recycled. The rest ends up in the environment causing pollution. Non-biodegradable waste such as plastics and glass worsen the situation as they do not rot. Proper waste management contributes to SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) by reducing exposure to hazardous materials, preventing disease spread, and ensuring cleaner environments. It minimizes pollution, improves sanitation, and supports healthier communities, ultimately enhancing overall health outcomes and quality of life.
