Why Eco Zindagi?
Problem
Methane Emissions
Inadequate waste management practices result in the release of approximately 3.2 million tons of methane annually, contributing significantly to Pakistan’s greenhouse gas emissions and overall carbon footprint
Air and Water Pollution
Improper waste disposal leads to the contamination of approximately 70% of the country’s water sources, exacerbating the issue of water scarcity and affecting the lives of over 50 million people. Additionally, the incineration of waste materials releases an estimated 10,000 tons of harmful pollutants into the air annually, significantly contributing to air pollution.
Low Recycling Rate
With a mere 5% recycling rate, Pakistan struggles to manage its waste efficiently, leading to the disposal of approximately 48.5 million tons of solid waste annually, a substantial burden on the environment and public health.
Biodiversity Impact
Improper waste management poses a direct threat to Pakistan’s rich biodiversity, with over 300 species of wildlife and plants facing the risk of extinction due to habitat degradation and pollution caused by irresponsible waste disposal practices.”
