Launched in 2021 with support from WWF-Norway and WWF-Vietnam, the "Hue – Plastic Smart City" project is transforming central Vietnam's historic city into a model for plastic reduction. The initiative targets the protection of Hue's rivers, wetlands, and coastal ecosystems from plastic pollution, setting a blueprint for sustainable urban development across the region.

Howard County, Maryland has made history as the home of the first human composting facility on the East Coast. Earth Funeral, the company behind the operation, offers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional burial methods, transforming human remains into nutrient-rich soil. The milestone marks a growing shift toward greener end-of-life options across the United States.

A landfill collapse in Davao City, Philippines, killed one trash picker and left two elderly women missing, as heavy rains destabilized the massive garbage mountain in Barangay New Carmen — displacing around 100 families who called the site home. The disaster is the latest in a string of deadly landfill failures across the Philippines, following collapses in Cebu City and Rizal that killed dozens earlier this year. Experts point to decades of failed waste segregation enforcement, improper landfill operations, and lax government oversight as the root causes, echoing the catastrophic 2000 Payatas collapse that killed at least 218 people.

Ottawa is exploring new composting options for its green bin waste program, a move that could transform how the city handles organic materials. The initiative aims to better manage compostable waste, which naturally produces biogas as it breaks down — a resource that could potentially be captured and used as an energy source.

A new publication is championing a fundamental shift in how we handle waste, pushing for people-centered approaches that prioritize source separation, recycling, and composting over conventional disposal methods. Rather than treating waste as a problem to be buried or burned, the report argues that communities should be empowered to actively participate in sorting and recovering valuable materials. This human-first philosophy places residents at the heart of sustainable waste solutions.

Composting doesn't have to mean buying expensive bins or following complicated systems. TikTok creator Nicholasisbarefoot is showing followers that burying food scraps directly in the ground — just 12 to 18 inches deep — can be just as effective, with the area ready for planting trees or vegetation within a month or two. Whether you have a backyard or live in a city, the creator argues there's always an option, from community gardens to sharing scraps with a composting neighbor.

A "talking" 570-litre smart bin has been installed in a layby on the A303 near Upottery as part of a trial to tackle roadside litter. The high-tech bin compacts waste, sends automated alerts to council teams when full, and even thanks drivers with a courtesy message. National Highways and East Devon District Council hope the initiative will significantly reduce roadside litter and cut the millions spent annually on clearance costs.

For decades, petrochemical companies ran a coordinated campaign promoting plastic recycling as a viable solution to plastic waste — all while knowing it wasn't. Internal knowledge that recycling was neither technically nor economically feasible did nothing to slow the industry's public messaging, as protecting their markets took priority over environmental reality.

A deadly garbage slide at the Davao City Sanitary Landfill, which killed one person, injured two, and left two others missing, has prompted environmental groups to demand urgent action on the Philippines' growing waste crisis. The EcoWaste Coalition is calling on authorities to inspect all landfills for regulatory compliance, warning that current policies prioritize disposal over prevention. The group argues that recurring landfill disasters across the country — from Cebu City to Navotas — expose a systemic failure to implement integrated waste management practices such as segregation, recycling, and composting.

Pope Leo XIV visited Acerra, a southern Italian town scarred by illegal toxic waste dumping, on May 23, offering a message of hope to its residents. Speaking in the Piazza Calipari, the pope declared the region possessed a "beauty no injustice can ever erase," and reminded the crowd that fragile beauty demands greater care and responsibility. His visit to the so-called "Land of Fires" underscored the Church's solidarity with communities bearing the burden of environmental devastation.

O Papa Leão XIV denunciou, em Acerra, no sul de Itália, os interesses criminosos responsáveis pela devastação ambiental da região conhecida como "Terra dei Fuochi", apelando à erradicação da "cultura do privilégio e da irresponsabilidade". Numa visita à Catedral de Santa Maria Assunta, o Pontífice evocou as vítimas da poluição provocada por décadas de deposição ilegal de resíduos tóxicos e desafiou as comunidades locais a protagonizarem uma "resistência obstinada que se transforma em renascimento".
