Municipalities, especially smaller ones, should consider implementing a circular economic model of reusing, recycling, refurbishment and remanufacturing of waste products, rather than dumping them in landfills, as this could help them manage waste sustainably, says Stellenbosch University public and development management doctoral graduate Dr Timoteus Kadhila. “By making a circular economy model part of their waste management practices, municipalities could enhance their resource efficiency, create job opportunities and new revenue streams, improve the livelihoods of local communities and reduce their impact on the environment,” he says.
