Waste

Black Sustainability, Inc.’s Waste Industry House is a network of environmental practitioners in the world of waste remediation which includes waste reduction strategies, circularity, the salvage economy and waste repurposing. Reflecting on a time where cultural wisdom taught respect for the natural cycle of a balanced human relationship with the environment, this industry house holds potential for innovation and improvement. In a time faced with environmental degradation concerns that especially impact the vulnerable communities of the Afrikan diaspora, this innovation is crucial for the protection and healing of the Black community.

The effects of environmentally harmful waste is well researched and documented, however the impact it has on the Black community is a relatively newly accepted concept that’s recently being acknowledged by the governments around the globe.

The anthropogenic action that takes one of the biggest tolls on Earth’s ecosystems is waste. Discarded non-biodegradable materials account for vast amounts of global pollutants and environmental toxins, before even taking into account biomagnification over time.
