Poor waste management in Sri Lanka is causing upsetting environmental biodiversity problems. Municipal waste is regularly discarded in open garbage dumps, many of which are located near protected areas and wildlife habitats. Waste is turning dumpsites into death traps for Sri Lankan elephants, which means they are inadvertently eating large amount of plastic and dying from it. Plastic waste circulating in the Bay of Bengal end of on Sri Lankan beaches as well as domestic waste that is discarded along rivers and beaches. Waste less Arugam Bay (WLAB) is a project founded by Lanka Upcycles in 2018, that works with local people of Arugam Bay on the east coast of Sri Lanka, cleaning up jungle areas that are home to Sri Lankan elephants, beaches and provides waste management to tourism industry which is a large polluter. Using precious plastic machines, the project collects and crushes plastic to send off to the recycling center. Less plastic ends up in the environment, saving the lives of animals, and everyone has cleaner drinking water as a result of less waste leakage.

At WLAB we are trying our best to contribute to a cleaner Arugam Bay and prolong the life of plastic. We also believe not all plastic is bad. It is an awesome material and has great properties but we seriously need to reconsider our consumption of single use plastics and redesign the value chain. With our waste collection alone it is extremely difficult to break even since the value of the raw material waste is so low.
With this NFT you can support our operation and secure more plastic going into recycling rather than being burned or ending up in the jungle or ocean. Your next surf shorts might be made from these bottles! THANK YOU

Plastic waste in cities is a major environmental issue. It not only pollutes the land and water, but it also harms wildlife and can have negative impacts on human health. The production and consumption of plastic has increased significantly in recent years, and as a result, plastic waste has become a common sight in our cities.
