Scaling Zero Waste Implementation at Bhutan’s Gyalsung Academies
Bhutan's five Gyalsung Academies train thousands of cadets on largely self-sufficient campuses, but rapid expansion has outpaced local waste management capacity, with most waste disposed of at open dumpsites. This REPIC-funded pilot establishes Bhutan's first fully integrated Zero Waste system at Pemathang Gyalsung Academy, demonstrating a practical, replicable model aligned with the Zero Waste Bhutan Policy (2023) and laying the groundwork for nationwide scaling across all five academies.
