Happening worldwide on September 17th, World Cleanup Day is one of the largest civic movements in which nations unite to reduce trash and mismanaged waste. By 2050 , global municipal solid waste is expected to rise by ~70% and reach a massive 3.4 billion metric tons. This doesn’t take into account the other forms of waste that nations generate such as hazardous, industrial non-hazardous, agricultural, medical and oil production wastes.

However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit.
