Borealis and Systemiq launched Project STOP in 2017.
Project STOP uses a “system enabler” approach in which a team of experts in waste management, plastic recycling, organics management, behavior change, and program governance help a city design and then implement a low-cost waste management system in which all households and institutions benefit from collection, and plastics are kept out of the environment.
Our aim is to create sustainable, low-cost waste systems that capture as much value from the waste as possible. The many existing local initiatives and informal waste pickers are supported and integrated into the business model.
Project STOP’s mission is to design, implement and scale circular economy solutions to marine plastic pollution in Southeast Asia.
