Waste minimization and recycling promotion project in the Republic of the Fiji Island : 3R guideline

Description:
The Government of Fiji has advocated the "coexistence of a sustainable society and the environment" as one of its basic policies. Furthermore, in June 2008, the government published its “National Solid Waste Management Strategy and Action Plan, 2008 – 2010” which aims to minimize waste, establish appropriate solid waste management (SWM) and reduce their environmental footprint. To achieve these basic policies, the Fiji Government has conducted a “Waste minimization and recycling promotion project” from October 2008, working out of the Lautoka City Council (LCC) and Nadi Town Council (NTC). The Department of Environment (DOE) decided to move ahead with waste minimization and recycling nationwide by promoting the 3Rs while building a sustainable Solid Waste Management (SWM), as stated in the National SWM Strategy 2011 – 2014 which was revised strategy endorsed by cabinet in 15th August, 2011. Therefore, the DOE prepared this 3R Guideline as a national policy to promote 3Rs.
