1 Educate and inform

One of the most effective ways to promote public awareness of waste management is to educate and inform the public about the current situation, the challenges, and the solutions. Public administrators can use various channels and formats, such as websites, social media, newsletters, brochures, posters, videos, podcasts, webinars, and events, to communicate the facts and figures, the goals and policies, the best practices and tips, and the success stories and case studies related to waste management. They can also collaborate with schools, universities, NGOs, media, and other stakeholders to reach a wider and more diverse audience.

Step one in the whole process. Make people aware not inky on how to treat waste, but especially how waste can be turned into value again.

2 Engage and consult

Another way to promote public awareness of waste management is to engage and consult the public in the decision-making and implementation processes. Public administrators can use various methods and tools, such as surveys, polls, focus groups, workshops, forums, and participatory budgeting, to solicit feedback, opinions, ideas, and suggestions from the public on waste management issues and initiatives. They can also involve the public in co-designing and co-delivering waste management solutions, such as community composting, repair cafes, swap shops, and waste audits.

3 Incentivize and reward

A third way to promote public awareness of waste management is to incentivize and reward the public for adopting waste reduction and recycling behaviors. Public administrators can use various mechanisms and schemes, such as taxes, fees, subsidies, grants, vouchers, discounts, credits, and recognition, to influence the choices and actions of the public on waste management. They can also create and support programs and platforms, such as competitions, challenges, campaigns, pledges, and certifications, to motivate and acknowledge the public for their efforts and achievements on waste management.

Reward the right behavior is always nice, but also risky, especially as it involves money. Key is to succes is producing less waste as a behavior, not as an incentive.

4 Demonstrate and lead

A fourth way to promote public awareness of waste management is to demonstrate and lead by example. Public administrators can use various strategies and measures, such as policies, regulations, standards, guidelines, and audits, to ensure that the public sector itself adopts and follows waste management principles and practices. They can also showcase and share their own experiences and learnings on waste management, such as waste prevention, reuse, recycling, recovery, and disposal, to inspire and influence the public to do the same.

The best way to change behavior, lead by example. If organizations and governments want to change behavior amongst their citizens they should be at the forefront themselves by believing in it and showing the right behavior in all they do and not only words. Not an easy job, but one with a clear mission.

5 Innovate and collaborate

A fifth way to promote public awareness of waste management is to innovate and collaborate with other actors and sectors. Public administrators can use various approaches and models, such as research, development, testing, scaling, and diffusion, to foster and facilitate innovation on waste management, such as new technologies, products, services, systems, and business models. They can also partner and network with other public agencies, private companies, civil society organizations, and international organizations, to exchange and leverage knowledge, resources, and opportunities on waste management.
