With one of the fastest growing economies and a growing consumer market, Cambodia is generating significant amounts of waste. Phnom Penh alone already produces 3000 tons of garbage per day and the issue of waste will be more important every day. The growing relevance of this topic can be seen at the Waste Summit 2019 hosted by the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung together with the German Business Group and Comped on October 9, 2019. The full day event focused on waste management and offered a platform for both sustainable dialogue and future partnerships between investors, start-ups and other relevant actors. The aim of this event was to bring together different people who all have the same objectives: to rethink waste by looking at it from different perspectives.
