ASSO-MER created BIM (Maritime Intervention Brigade) in 2017 who’s main objective is to collect underwater and coastal waste from all over Martinique in order to reduce their impact on the marine environment (including fishing gear abandoned or lost at sea).

The Life Cycle Initiative started GLAM in 2013, in collaboration with University of Michigan, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Denmark’s Technical University (DTU), to enhance global consensus on environmental life cycle impact assessment indicators. The project aims to generate tangible and practical recommendations for different environmental indicators and characterization factors used in Life Cycle Impact Assessments (LCIA).

The increase in solid waste volumes through an expanding tourism industry and changes in consumption patterns in Guyana has prompted steady improvement in the Haags Bosch Sanitary Landfill Facility (HBSLF). The HBSLF is one of the most modern of its kind in the Caribbean. It is fully operational and uses best practices that includes waste segregation, leachate treatment, waste recovery, monitoring of leachate, surface/ ground water and air quality. Integrating best practices in landfill management will reduce health risks and pollution.
