For instance: Waste Management

Waste management has been assigned the highest priority on all developmental agendas of recent times, especially in newly industrialized regions. These regions have been able to bring their economies to life, at least in the short-term, by offering local advantages such as cheap labor and poor environmental standards. International requirements and national laws are now becoming more stringent and the importance of the planet and its resources have been recognized. Reducing the burden the environment must carry and developing waste management strategies such as reuse, recovery and recycling play an important role for eco-tex and its partners.
The Indian organization LINK has developed a waste management program for the southern Indian city of Tirupur concentrating on bringing under control industrial and household waste and waste-water pollution. Systems adapted to local conditions using simple technologies can make an impact on these problems and permanently change residents’ behavior. The consequences of continued unbridled environmental destruction would be fatal for the population.
