"In 2021, San Carlos de Bariloche in Argentina had a dismal recycling rate and
the city’s waste site was declared one of the 50 largest rubbish dumps globally
by CNN.

A lakeside town in the foothills of the Andes, Bariloche welcomed hundreds of
thousands of tourists per year. But the city lacked an integrated, efficient
waste management system, let alone a more sustainable or “circular” system
enabling recycling and reuse.

No single intervention could fix Bariloche’s waste management – improvement
required a holistic approach. In partnership with Rethinking Recycling, a
programme run by the global nonprofit Delterra, Bariloche was able to
comprehensively evaluate its waste management system."
