Scaling Circularity On Mount Everest
Dell News, Wednesday, August 9,2023
How our team is supporting the Sagarmatha Next Centre to raise awareness of the plastic waste issue on Mount Everest.
Hosting nearly 80,000 visitors each year, Mount Everest is one of the most popular trekking destinations in the world - a place where people fulfill dreams and push their limits. Unfortunately, it's also a place where they leave approximately 250 tons of waste each year. Aligned with our commitment to accelerate the circular economy, our Dell Technologies team is supporting a non-profit NGO run by local environmental enthusiasts.
The Sagarmatha Next Centre, which is located near Syangboche Namche Bazaar, en route to Everest base camp, educates visitors about this growing environmental issue and seeks to reduce the impact of waste. Located at 3,775 meters (about 12,385 feet) above sea level, Sagarmatha Next Centre is a must-stop location for visitors along the Mount Everest trail providing the perfect opportunity to raise awareness of the organization's effort for every climber who passes through.
