After a cleanup we sort and count the waste and record the brand on each item, to show what pollutes our streets and beaches and who produces it.
A cleanup removes waste; an audit explains it. In a Waste and Brand Audit (WABA), volunteers take a sample of the waste collected, sort it by type and record the brand on every item they can identify.
The results show which kinds of waste are most common and whose products end up in the environment most often. WEMASA uses this evidence in awareness work, in discussions with local authorities and to call on producers to take responsibility for their packaging.
