In remote Arctic villages with no roads and limited infrastructure, dealing with waste is a real challenge. But as this episode of This Way Up — the Arctic Council’s podcast — shows, it’s also an opportunity. From turning plastic bottles into 3D printer filament in Nunavut to large-scale community cleanups in Sámi communities, Arctic residents are finding creative, locally driven solutions to a problem that affects us all. Featuring voices from the Government of Nunavut, the U.S. EPA and the Saami Council.
