Tuvalu Department of Waste Management

05/10/2026. COCA-COLA SUPPORTS TUVALU’S WASTE MANAGEMENT EFFORTS AHEAD OF PRE-COP31.
The Department of Waste Management is deeply grateful to receive a generous donation of AUD$76,721.64 from Coca-Cola to support logistics for Tuvalu’s waste management operation.
This morning, Coca-Cola Europacific Partners Pacific Head of Public Affairs, Communications and Sustainability, Mr Dwain Qalovaki, officially presented the cheque to the Minister for Climate Change and Environment, Dr Maina Talia, and the Director for Waste Management, Mr Epu Falenga.
The timing of this donation is significant, coming just before the Pre-COP meeting begins- a critical gathering as Tuvalu prepares for global climate discussions. This support will strengthen our capacity to manage waste effectively during this important event and beyond.
The Department acknowledges Coca-Cola commitment to environmental sustainability and their partnership in helping Tuvalu maintain a clean and healthy environment for our people.
We thank Coca-Cola for their generous support and for recognising the importance of waste management in our nation’s climate resilience efforts.
