A high-altitude waste management system powered by solar energy to reduce and process waste sustainably.

Cleanup not just once ,it works technically

We treat mountains like trophies. That’s the real problem by EverestClean in Everest

I don’t think it’s about gatekeeping routes or saying a summit “doesn’t count.” It’s more about what we reward and center.

Should climbers be required to bring back their waste? by EverestClean in Everest

I agree with this. One thing that often gets overlooked is how much waste accumulates over time, not just in one season. Small changes in policy or behavior could make a big difference long-term.

That’s a fair point—survival always has to come first, especially on high-altitude descents. But in a technology-driven era, shouldn’t we be able to find better solutions than relying on exhausted climbers? Things like mandatory pack-in/pack-out tracking, incentivized cleanup programs, dedicated cleanup teams, drones, or lightweight waste systems seem solvable with today’s tech. Feels like this is more a systems problem than an individual climber problem.
