Up-Scaling Brand Auditing of Plastic Bottles

The Manufactures of beverages (Water, Soft drinks, liquor) in Uganda have failed to improve and /or change the packaging of products. The manufacturing companies are maintaining the destructive linear mechanism of Produce – Use – Dispose (UD) without responsibility. There is need to galvanize action that seek to interrogate amounts of plastic being produced, and for what purposes.
BiVA is working to increase gathering data on plastic waste bottles collected at community cleanups around Kampala, and posting it in the waste based portal. By so doing, BiVA contributes to, and supports global campaigns to mount pressure on big polluters to take responsibility – financial and/or physical – for the treatment or disposal of post-consumer products they put on market.
