Our unique African-centric litter reduction campaign which is being piloted in South Africa will – once trialled and tested – be scaled and used throughout the continent.
Operation Clean Spot (OCS) aims to reduce land-based litter by up to 90% in some communities. With its mandate to support a blue economy by helping Africa’s oceans become litter-free, the organisation wants to use OCS to combat pollution in the environment before it reaches the sea.
OCS has been piloted in Nelson Mandela Bay and Jeffreys Bay this past year. The next step sees OCS scaling into selected other densely populated coastal cities in SA to test the model. Now, we are looking for partners – both operational and funding – to realise this ambitious vision. If that’s you or your organisation, let us know!
OCS is being trialled in different coastal cities at the same time because each community is unique in terms of how it manages its waste, and therefore any solutions that OCS proposes need to be tailored to these unique circumstances. The same holds true for other African communities in which OCS will eventually be rolled out at a later stage.
