Solid Waste Management in the Pacific: Tuvalu Country Snapshot
Woodruff, Allison | June 2014
Abstract
This flyer outlines the status of solid waste management in Tuvalu and recommends key points for action to address challenges facing the country related to solid waste management. As a small, low-lying country, consisting of nine atolls, Tuvalu is characterized by extreme environmental fragility. Around 57% of the country’s population of 10,837 resides on the main island of Funafuti, a narrow strip of land with an area of just 2.4 square kilometers. The country’s per capita gross domestic product was estimated at A$3,419 (around $3,074) in 2012.
