Core Pillars of ALPWAM’s Work

Legal Reform & Advocacy

We use the law as a tool for systemic change—analyzing legal gaps, proposing amendments, and advocating for progressive waste governance frameworks at local, national, and regional levels.

Policy Dialogue & Research

A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradise

Community Empowerment

We center communities—especially youth and women—as co-creators of solutions. Through training, legal literacy, and participatory action, we amplify local voices in waste management discourse and decision-making.

Environmental Justice & Strategic Litigation

We support legal redress where community rights are violated by environmental harm, and we mobilize legal strategies to hold duty bearers accountable for pollution, neglect, or exploitation.

Circular Economy & Climate Resilience

We promote waste as a resource—encouraging innovation, upcycling, and circular economy approaches that transform waste into economic and health solutions while building climate resilience.
