We are proud to announce the 2018 be Waste Wise Pioneers List which recognizes organizations that are effectively sharing solutions to waste management and stories about their work. We analyzed more than thousand social media accounts to find this year’s Pioneers. In its earlier versions, this was called the Waste Influencers List.
We believe in the power of communications and active knowledge dissemination in supporting waste management across the world. Our aim behind recognizing Waste Pioneers is to encourage such communications and enhance opportunities for collaboration.
Next week, we will publish a list of individual Waste Pioneers. Keep following this space, for regular updates.
To find these influencers and others who connect the world to great ideas and solutions, check our Twitter list with the name —Waste Influencers— which is updated constantly. If you think we are missing some, please tweet at us with their handle.
Remember to follow these influencers or subscribe to the Twitter List to see what they’re sharing about waste.
