In response to the unprecedented challenge of plastic pollution, volunteers from the ZeroPlastic Movement, Sri Lanka’s largest environmental volunteer organization driven to empower individuals through education and action, together with the team at Intrepid, sponsored by the Intrepid Travel Foundation held a climate action awareness project in Kandy.

Over 200 volunteers joined in, largely from universities, showcasing their relentless and collective dedication towards climate action. This concerted effort underscores a growing commitment among youth, fighting for a plastic-free world and community-driven environmental stewardship.

The project also went onto establishing enhanced plastic collection and recycling processes at the Kandy Railway Station, including an educational workshop for its authorities and the donation of a substantial plastic collection bin to further streamline recycling efforts. Further, this was also extended to sacred spaces such as the Dalada Maligawa, where thousands of people visit every day.

The entire journey began with a comprehensive awareness campaign, kickstarting from the Colombo-Fort Railway Station to Kandy in an Intercity train, to local businesses and towns, with countless face-to-face interactions and displays of placards, spurring conversations about responsible plastic management among locals.

Barista, Sri Lanka’s largest cafe chain, also joined in to pledge its support towards this cause as beverages partner. ‘We’d like to extend our heartiest gratitude to our sponsors and supporters who played a crucial role in making this project a success. Together, we are paving the way for a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable Kandy. The outcomes of this initiative underscore the positive impact that collaborative efforts can have on fostering a healthier planet.

ZeroPlastic Movement has evolved into a foremost grassroots environmental activist group in Sri Lanka with over 10,000 volunteers from universities, corporations, and schools, coming together to combat plastic pollution through education and advocacy. It was also named National Winner 2023 – Sri Lanka earlier this year in recognition of its ZeroPlastic River Strainer project and will go onto being nominated for the prestigious Energy Globe World Awards.

The festival centers around a creative platform highlighting the cultural essence of Sri Lanka, placing a primary emphasis on Literature, complemented by Art, Music, and Films. A pivotal objective of the festival management is to broaden exposure and knowledge among the youth and children. To this end, a Children’s Festival and Creative Writing Workshop have been organized, featuring the participation of 13 schools.

Cleverly themed curated sessions, totaling 23, will captivate and engage the audience. The distinguished curator of the festival is Ashok Ferrey, a celebrated author and literary figure, whose expertise promises to enrich the festival experience.

At the heart of this festival lies the objective to spotlight Sri Lanka to international audiences, portraying it as a country with a dynamic and vibrant society, thereby enhancing its allure for both travelers and investors.

As climate change and environmental concerns dominate the global discourse, the International Conference on Sustainable Built Environment 2023 better known as “the Kandy Conference”, in Sri Lanka, is creating a platform to galvanize innovative solutions and strategies to create a more sustainable built environment in the country.

The conference, to be held on 15-17 December 2023 at the Earl’s Regency Hotel in Kandy, will bring together experts, professionals, and industry leaders in the pursuit of eco-friendly and sustainable practices.

“The built environment is among the biggest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, so innovation in this area is pivotal in the global campaign to achieve global climate targets. Sustainable building practices are at the centre of our fight against climate change,” says Prof. (Eng.) Ranjith Dissanayake, Chairman of the Green Building Council of Sri Lanka, and who is organizing the Kandy conference. “By bringing together experts and policymakers and creating the space for constructive dialogue, we believe that we can catalyze positive change in the sustainable built environment in Sri Lanka for generations to come.”

Sustainable construction practices go hand-in-hand with responsible waste management. According to a World Bank report published in 2016, the world is expected to increase waste generation by 70 percent by 2050, from 2.01 billion tons of waste in 2016 to 3.40 billion tons of waste annually. The life cycle of buildings and infrastructure involves not only the construction phase but also the operation and eventual demolition. Each stage generates different types of waste, and effective waste management is essential to mitigate the environmental impact.

INSEE Sri Lanka, a leading player in the construction and building solutions industry in Sri Lanka, is among the key sponsors for the Kandy Conference. This partnership aligns with INSEE’s deep commitment to reduce its carbon footprint and promote sustainability. INSEE Ecocycle, INSEE’s waste management arm with two decades of expertise, plays a significant role in the company’s overall environmental, social, and governance ambition, which includes becoming greener, safer, more cost-effective, and positively impacting the environment and society at large.

A 2020 survey conducted in the Western Province highlighting construction and demolition, were largely used as landfilling material without proper management. This, coupled with the overexploitation of finite natural resources in the production of buildings and other civil constructions, was causing serious environmental issues.

INSEE Ecocycle plays a crucial role in highlighting the interconnectedness between sustainable built practices and effective waste management. “By embracing the principles of a circular economy, we not only manage waste efficiently but also contribute to the creation of a greener built environment,” says Sujith Gunawardana, General Manager, INSEE Ecocycle Sri Lanka. “Our commitment extends beyond responsible waste management; it’s about transforming construction practices to reduce environmental impact. Together, we are building a more resilient future for our communities through circularity and sustainable construction.”

INSEE Sri Lanka’s involvement goes beyond mere financial support; it showcases the company’s dedication to fostering sustainable construction practices. The sponsorship demonstrates a shared vision among industry leaders to transform the construction landscape, emphasizing the need to balance development with environmental conservation.

“This year’s Sustainable Built Environment conference is taking place after the COP28 conference, where topics such as the role of sustainable construction in building urban resilience and promoting community engagement are being explored,” adds the Chairman of the Green Building Council of Sri Lanka. “INSEE’s pivotal role as the primary sponsor, coupled with INSEE Ecocycle’s role in Sri Lanka, underscores the industry’s commitment to creating a built environment that balances human progress with environmental stewardship.”

The collaboration between sustainable construction practices and waste management services exemplifies the industry’s recognition of its responsibility in shaping a more sustainable future. The Kandy conference will serve as a catalyst for change, inspiring participants to work collectively towards a greener and more sustainable future.

Our vision is to advance towards a green economy, a digital economy and a technology-driven economy, all of which necessitate a robust institutional framework. This endeavour is a collective effort

and I extend my gratitude to all those who have contributed to these endeavours today. When we observe the remarkable talents displayed by these students, it becomes evident that our country holds the potential for a bright future.
