Interested in plugging into the heart of a community-driven, forward-thinking local plastic waste management system in Amsterdam Noord? Here’s your opportunity to contribute, assisting management of daily operations.
WASTED started with the ambition to directly involve communities in turning a straight make-take-waste system into a regenerative, circular one through a progressive plastic recycling strategy. Now we’re expanding to Amsterdam De Pijp with our separation scheme for bulky waste, seeking a small team of community activators to lead the way!
CITIES Foundation is an independent organisation based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. CITIES was founded in 2008 by two Metropolitan Studies Masters students who developed their own plan to provide local, scalable and tangible solutions for urban issues happening locally, on a global scale. CITIES Foundation analyses global urban development trends, focusing in on specific issues. CITIES has focused on de-industrialisation, citizens’ engagement, local food systems and waste management. Through community-based project development, research, communication, publications, events, experiences and workshops, CITIES empowers and supports urban communities, by co-developing scalable solutions that integrate our work into the urban economy and ecology with a long-term vision. As a result of this working process, CITIES also operates as an incubator for self-initiated social enterprises.
This is great opportunity for students or people interested in sustainability and environmentally related subjects
