Big news from Simu2000 Market! We've completed the construction of the #composting facility at Mawasiliano—and it's already operational! A powerful step toward building a community-driven #ZeroWaste system. #ThisIsZeroWaste #TakaSifuriTz
This facility is a game-changer:
✅ Diverts landfill waste
✅ Cuts harmful emissions
✅ Empowers local vendors
✅ Creates economic & environmental value

Plastic is never convenient. We need reuse systems now! #BreakFreeFromPlastic

At least 50% of plastic waste ends up in landfills. The reality is plastic never really goes away.
We need to cut plastic production and switch to reuse and refill systems ASAP.
