Hi Everyone greetings from Nauru,

I am excited to participate in the PacWastePlus and GEF ISLANDS Study Tour to learn more about these systems. Here in Nauru we are currently exploring with the intention to establish a recycling system that is acceptable to our community and also meets the standards of recyclers and not forgetting an important part which is to adopt a system that could be sustainably financed.

The things I am most looking forward to learn are what mechanisms such as obligations, regulations, partnerships, policies etc are being utilized to gain leverage with key stakeholders in supporting a recycling/recovery system and users to make use of such a system.

Look forward to learning from this exchange which it is hope aspects can be localized and applied in my own country.

Tubwa, Bryan
