The Waste and Resource Management Cluster of the AIT RRC.AP has a mission to catalyse the transition to sustainable waste and resource management in Asia and the Pacific Region, and beyond. We do this by leveraging our unique policy–research interface positioning to support, promote, and inspire governments, businesses and startups and the broad relevant stakeholder in rethinking and co-development of sustainable new models of resource utilization and circular economy of materials.
We acknowledge that catalyzing change from the traditional take-make-dispose linear economy to a more resource efficient and sustainable circular economy transitions may not happen overnight. We support national and subnational governments, businesses, and industries with requisite resources; relevant decision support tools and information, and capacities for achieving national, regional, and international targets on waste and resource governance.
