This episode of #GlobalSouthPole explores how BRICS countries are rethinking waste management by turning recycling into a driver of economic growth, innovation, and sustainability.
Featuring Professor Fulufhelo Godfrey Netswera, Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Research and Postgraduate Studies at the University of Venda, and Aifani Confidence Tahulela, Research Coordinator at the Durban University of Technology, South Africa, the discussion examines how China, Russia, India, Brazil, and South Africa have each developed unique approaches to waste reuse. It also explores how sharing these experiences could strengthen the circular economy, create jobs, and reduce pressure on landfills across the Global South.
