A closer look at sustainable plastic waste management in action ♻️   Representatives from The Coca-Cola Foundation, together with the UNDP Resident Representative and the Mayor of Lalitpur Metropolitan City, visited a UNDP supported Material Recovery Facility (MRF) in Dhapakhel, Lalitpur.    Around 70 tonnes of municipal waste from four municipalities is processed here daily. Nearly 4-5 tonnes—primarily plastic—is carefully segregated using specialized machinery, with the entire operation led by a dedicated team of women.   Once sorted, these materials are compressed and sold to recycling and upcycling companies, helping them re-enter the production cycle. This not only reduces the pressure on the landfill site but also generates revenue, turning waste into value.   This is an impactful step towards advancing plastic waste management under @UNDP’s Plastics Circularity Project, supported by The Coca-Cola Foundation.   Supporting Nepal’s transition to a circular economy, UNDP’s Plastics Circularity Project—supported by The Coca-Cola Foundation—is strengthening waste management systems across the country, from Kathmandu Valley to Khumbu, Lumbini, Butwal, and Dhangadhi. By establishing Material Recovery Facilities, supporting waste workers, and promoting better segregation and recycling practices, the initiative is turning plastic waste into opportunity and reducing environmental impact.

Did you know❓ Swiss geologist Dr. Toni Hagen—also an adviser to the United Nations—walked 14,000+ kilometres across #Nepal in the 1950s to understand its people, communities, and landscapes. 🇳🇵🇺🇳🇨🇭 His pioneering work guided some of the earliest UNDP-supported efforts in infrastructure🌉, healthcare🏥, and education🏫, laying the foundation for Nepal’s development. As part of #UNDPNepal60, we are excited to share some of his extraordinary photographs capturing a Kathmandu Valley long before urban sprawl, when terraced fields, goats, and snow-capped peaks defined the landscape. 🏔️🐐👩‍🌾 Dr. Hagen’s legacy continues to inspire @UNDPNepal journey in empowering communities, tackling inequalities, and advancing sustainable development. ⏩Swipe to explore history through his lens 📸!

70 years. 60 years. One journey. One 🇺🇳. Did you know❓#Nepal has been part of the United Nations for 70 years, beginning a long and fruitful partnership in 1955. Ten years later, the merger of the UN Expanded Programme of Technical Assistance and the UN Special Fund led to the formation of UNDP. Since 1965, UNDP has been part of Nepal’s development journey, partnering with the government, civil society, and communities to promote inclusive economic growth, foster democratic governance, build resilience, and advance gender equality and social inclusion. #UNDPNepal60 tells the story of these milestones and the people behind them. Follow along as we share key moments from our shared journey.
