KATHMANDU, April 5: MetLife Nepal, in partnership with Doko Recyclers, celebrated the completion of a significant community project today with the inauguration of the rejuvenated park situated at the revered Karyabinayak Temple premises in Bungamati, Lalitpur.

KATHMANDU, June 12: Karkhana Samuha and Doko Recyclers have jointly organized Sikaru (Learners) Saathi Bootcamp which is supported by the Lang Social Impact Fellowship at Swarthmore College. Sikaru Saathi bootcamp is a program that teaches students to repair and upcycle simple household electronics. The program aims to raise awareness about the problems of e-waste in urban households by building a culture of repair among these young students.

Waste management is a huge problem in Nepal. Rampant and haphazard urbanization and unplanned waste management system often result in piles of garbage everywhere you look and that affects the country’s environmental health as well as the economy. Doko Recyclers is a social venture started to streamline the unsystematic waste management and work on (and make people aware about) recycling waste products. Their latest project Tatva Upcycle is a creative initiative that prolifically creates new products with creative designs out of discarded waste materials. Although it was introduced in late October this year via Doko Recyclers’ Facebook page, the Doko team had been working on making new useful things out of waste since its inception in July 2017.
