EU e-waste ‘being illegally shipped to Nigeria’

Innovation in advanced materials offers the disruptive potential to transform the way we build our future cities – and make them greener and smarter.

The biggest sustainability problems can’t be solved without big contributions from the building and construction industry. Solving these problems calls for sweeping transformation in today’s building practices. As DuPont Performance Building Solutions and Corian® Design, we’re up to the challenge, and have charted a course to help make sustainability a reality in the building industry over the next decade. Inspired by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), and in support of the DuPont 2030 Sustainability Goals, we are committed to deliver solutions that help solve climate change, drive the circular economy, deliver safer solutions and help communities thrive.

In an ongoing drive to minimise waste, Wilderness Safaris Rwanda, together with local communities and businesses, has developed novel ways to tackle waste at Magashi in Akagera and Bisate Lodge near Volcanoes National Park. With the dining experience already centred around locally sourced produce, new opportunities have also developed through Wilderness Safaris’ War on Waste impact strategy. “In keeping with the light ecological footprint adopted by all aspects of our operations, we are also always looking for solutions to try and find ways that our waste can be re-used, reduced, recycled and upcycled,” explained Wilderness Safaris Rwanda Operations Manager, Ingrid Baas, “We work together with a company called PIMA – Zero Waste Shop. It is the first physical zero-waste outlet in Rwanda, creating a circular economy through supporting #madeinrwanda and #madeinafrica producers”.
