The Caribbean Council is pleased to showcase Mission Delegate 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿𝟴 for our upcoming UK Business Trade Mission to 𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗰𝗮 & 𝗗𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰. 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿𝟴: Inciner8 is a globally recognised authority in waste incineration, with decades of experience delivering systems to over 170 countries. From rural farming communities and small clinics to major municipalities and industrial hubs, our technology provides reliable on-site disposal across medical, agricultural, and general municipal waste streams. We also have a proven track record supporting island nations in the Caribbean, where waste management presents unique challenges. Limited landfill space, high transport costs, and fragile ecosystems make safe and efficient disposal a pressing priority. Inciner8 Limited systems are designed to overcome these barriers by offering compact, cleaner-air solutions that protect both public health and the natural environment across island communities. Our technology is already trusted across the region, with installations in St Eustatius, St Kitts, Aruba, Bonaire, Haiti, Trinidad & Tobago, Sint Maarten, Jamaica, Turks & Caicos, Montserrat, Curacao, and the British Virgin Islands, where we continue to build lasting partnerships with governments, NGOs, and private sector clients. Our flagship i8-1000 Line delivers burn rates of up to 1000kg per hour with advanced pollution control, making it one of the most capable systems available for large-scale waste management operations. We are in the final testing stage of a i8-1000 Line for a valued customer in Aruba — a landmark project that will enhance sustainable waste management across the Caribbean. We work with leading organisations worldwide — including national ministries, NGOs, municipalities, agricultural cooperatives, and private healthcare providers. Designed and built in Great Britain, our incinerators are engineered for reliability, rapid deployment, and full compliance with CE, ISO 9001, and ISO 14001 standards. Whether destroying medical waste, agricultural residues, or municipal refuse, Inciner8 systems consistently reduce volumes by up to 95%, neutralise harmful pathogens and chemicals, and meet strict environmental requirements. Our solutions help communities and organisations reduce risk, manage waste responsibly, and safeguard both people and the environment.

♻️ Transforming Waste Management into a Pillar of Sustainable Development in the MENA Region 🌍 Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working extensively across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region on a wide range of solid waste management projects. These experiences (spanning diverse countries, operational contexts, and institutional frameworks) have shaped a deep understanding of what it truly takes to build effective and sustainable waste management systems. From developing national strategies and planning infrastructure to overseeing implementation and improving operational performance, my work has consistently focused on bridging the gap between policy and practice. I’ve led efforts to enhance collection and transportation systems, optimize treatment processes, and ensure long-term system sustainability through continuous monitoring and evaluation. One key insight I’ve gained is that solid waste management is not only a service that municipalities provide to citizens; it is a foundational pillar of sustainable development. It directly impacts public health, environmental protection, resource conservation, climate action, and the transition toward a circular economy. In regions like MENA, where environmental challenges intersect with rapid urbanization and limited resources, the strategic role of waste management becomes even more critical. Building resilient and effective waste systems demands more than technical knowledge. It requires strategic vision, hands-on field experience, and the ability to adapt to diverse local contexts. This is the approach I strive to apply in every project I undertake; developing practical and sustainable solutions that reflect the real needs of communities while leveraging the best international practices. By integrating engineering, strategic planning, and operational management, and by aligning with national environmental and economic policies, we can create systems that are not only technically sound but also socially and institutionally viable. My goal is to continue contributing to this transformation, helping shape waste management as a driver of sustainable development across the MENA region and beyond. #SustainableDevelopment #WasteManagement #CircularEconomy #MENARegion #EnvironmentalEngineering #InternationalCooperation #UrbanDevelopment #PublicHealth #ClimateAction #InfrastructureDevelopment #GlobalPartnerships #SDGs #GreenTransition #DevelopmentProjects #SolidWasteSolutions

The CLOCC (Clean Oceans through Clean Communities) program, initiated by Sirk Norge, funded by Norad - Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation, and implemented by local partner GO Circular Indonesia (GO SIRK), works to strengthen community-based waste management, including strengthening institutions and cadres of the Village Waste Bank in Wongaya Gede, Tabanan, Bali. A total of 36 cadres, known as TAPE Uli (Tangan Peduli Lingkungan-Caring Hands for The Environment), have been facilitated to become the frontliners in source-based waste management. One of the key approaches is training using the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) method. Through PRA, cadres are not only trained to jointly identify problems, potentials, and solutions for waste management, but also to grow as independent facilitators. This independence is crucial for delivering effective education, raising awareness on waste segregation at the source, and encouraging active community participation in the Village Waste Bank activities. As part of the ongoing “Learning from Villages” series by GoSirk Institute, in collaboration with Udayana University, this story highlights how PRA has become an essential tool for empowering Waste Bank cadres in Wongaya Gede. 👉 Watch the video below and discover how change begins with awareness from within. 👉Explore more inspiring insights on village waste management practices on the GoSirk Institute YouTube channel.

Even before 2022, Ukraine faced a waste management emergency: - 90% of municipal solid waste went to landfills - Less than 7% recycled – among Europe's lowest rates - Nearly all 6,000+ landfills fail to meet EU environmental standards The war has dramatically worsened the situation. Building debris, contaminated materials from damaged facilities, and strained services have triggered illegal dumping and serious public health risks. Enter Wm4U 🇸🇪🇺🇦 This Swedish long-term initiative is working to bring Ukraine's waste management up to EU standards – tackling both the immediate crisis and building foundations for sustainable change. Supporting Ukraine's recovery means more than reconstruction. It means building systems that protect health, environment, and future prosperity.
