Noonu Atoll Council is committed to stimulating a circular economy through investment in atoll-wide recycling and upcycling businesses. To ensure success, council will conduct a thorough feasibility assessment, prioritizing types of waste with the greatest potential for repurposing. Council will develop a comprehensive funding strategy and financial plan to support these ventures.  A supportive regulatory environment is essential, and we will engage with relevant authorities to streamline permitting processes and explore potential tax incentives.  Building strong partnerships and collaborations with local entrepreneurs and waste management specialists will be crucial. Finally, we will carefully consider the specific needs of each business, such as access to raw materials, marketing strategies, and potential challenges. By investing in atoll-scale recycling and upcycling businesses, Noonu Atoll Council aims to create a more sustainable waste management system, promote economic diversification, and empower local entrepreneurs.
