Private Industry

How can you work with us?

Pacific Island Countries are faced with the increasing issue of stockpiles of solid waste, hazardous waste, and low-value recyclable materials. These items are imported into our islands as consumer goods and packaging, building materials, household items, vehicles, electronics, etc. But once they have passed their useful life, we are faced with limited viable options for their recycling in-country or exporting to recycling markets. As such, the items often get disposed in overflowing landfills, unlined dumps, and vacant land, posing a potential hazard to human health and the environment.

We work with the waste industry and private companies

If your company buys or accepts waste products for appropriate recovery, recycling, or approved disposal, we are creating a register of waste receival companies that can be accessed by governments or waste management service providers in the Pacific Region, so they can identify whom to contact to negotiate sale or trades on the commodities they have collected.

Companies accepting waste

This database provides a list of overseas (both within and external to the region) recycling companies who are certified and have indicated their desire to accept waste/recyclable products from PICs for appropriate recovery or approved disposal. The intent of this database is to help Pacific Islands counties identify possible overseas markets for their waste products.

The creation and maintenance of these registers on our upcoming dedicated programme website will enable member countries, and the waste industry, to access up-to-date information on companies able to provide technological support, or an active market to accept wastes from the region, facilitating the diversion of these products from landfill, and providing more opportunity for countries to access the Moana Taka Partnership to ship these products from the region to a recovery market.

Please note that provision of company details and inclusion on the register does not imply that SPREP, PacWastePlus, or any of its donors, agents, or employees are endorsing the services provided, or quality of processes undertaken
