Who we are?

Thant Myanmar is a Myanmar organization born out of a movement to fight plastic pollution. It registered in February 2019 as a non-profit company continuing its campaigns and public awareness raising but also doing contractual work around the topic of waste management, environmental research, development of toolkits and guides for those willing to be part of the fight for a more sustainable future. Now our partners range from the European Union to UN programs and NGOs developing efforts for more sustainable production and consumption - SCP.

Community action is at the heart of our mission to encourage SCP and to reduce environmental pollution. We combine grass root initiatives with a structured method for sustained action. Our activities range from research on pollution and circular economy over training, awareness raising and campaigns to concrete implementation. 

Our main partners in this work are civil society organizations, rural communities, informal workers inside the circular economy and activists.

Our Mission
