Making Galle City Plastic Waste – Free project
#Tourism Sector video
The plastic waste crisis requires both global action and initiatives at the local level. These videos spotlight the inspiring outcomes of three pilot projects implemented in Galle City, Sri Lanka. Funded by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad) and facilitated by the BRS Secretariat, the pilots were carried out by the Ministry of Environment of Sri Lanka in collaboration with the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) and local civil society organizations.
Witness the transformative efforts of the tourism sector: three hotels developed action plans to reduce single-use plastics and installed special filters in their washing machines to capture microfibers.
These stories highlight practical steps toward reducing plastic waste and fostering sustainability. Watch the full series, which includes a special introduction by the Executive Secretary of the BRS Secretariat, or enjoy each video individually to discover these impactful initiatives.
