Waste management in Mongolia
International Projects is currently working in Mongolia with the Municipality of Ulaanbaatar on its Food Waste Community Recycling Project, funded by the Asian Development Bank. A BSI team of international and local
brings different views and perspectives into our own team. BSI benefits from projects through understanding other countries’ challenges and how they address them, for example, getting young people involved in standards, working with SMEs or achieving gender equality. It sparks ideas.” The Covid-19 pandemic naturally has had an impact on how the team delivers its global services. Traditionally, they were on site in the country they were working with, together with a mix of local and international experts. “All of a sudden we had to shift to
remote working, which was a very different way of working for us and brought its
own challenges. Like the majority of organizations, we had to adapt to the new situation but it has led us to consider how new ways of working can continue to improve how we deliver our projects in the future”, said Jennifer. “Something which won’t change with any
future projects is the aim to leave a secure legacy behind. We’re looking to strengthen local institutional knowledge and skills, in order to build trust and confidence in markets, products and services so the benefits can be felt beyond the life of the project - because that is what remains when our programmes have completed,” Jennifer concluded.
The project in Ulaanbaatar promotes sustainable, inclusive economic growth with active public participation.
experts will promote the transformation of food waste into compost and provide education and awareness- raising on food waste recycling to local communities, particularly to food markets, restaurants, schools, kindergartens and households, who will participate in pilot projects. The team will also support the Municipality on a large-scale composting pilot project by providing
guidance on composting technologies, a cost benefit and option analysis, and by designing a composting facility. Through the segregation of food waste at source and recycling, the project will improve living conditions, reduce health risks, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and provide opportunities for new business and jobs, particularly for vulnerable groups. The project will have a positive impact on Ulaanbaatar as a green city, promoting environmentally sustainable, inclusive economic growth with active public participation, resulting in a safer and healthier living environment for its citizens.
