MIMI WU
In Brief

Mimi manages the Company’s domestic and global sales and supply, and business development.

Mimi has eight years Myanmar experience in project management. She has a background in public policy and international development, notably at USAID, World Bank, Management Sciences for Health, and International Finance Corporation (IFC). Mimi has always been impact driven, and she was inspired to tackle plastic bag pollution by two friends in Uganda: One had pioneered plastic film recycling there, and another started a plastic manufacturing plant that is still providing permanent jobs to the community 30 years since opening.

Originally planning to operate in Uganda, Mimi was encouraged to visit Myanmar by her friend in 2013. On her first night in Yangon, she followed a garbage truck to find out where the landfill was and within two days, she had met government officials in charge of Yangon’s waste management and potential buyers. She decided to relocate from Uganda to Yangon despite having no network in Myanmar and began laying the groundwork for Myanmar Recycles.

Education: Master of Public Policy – University of Virginia, Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy (inaugural class); BA Economics – University of Virginia

Company Profile
Since 2017, Myanmar Recycles has been providing a real solution to Myanmar’s plastic pollution problem with support from Yangon's city council. 
Our Company's goal is achieving a zero plastic waste future by collecting and recycling discarded, traditionally unrecycled post-consumer plastic film. We focus on plastic film that is simply too dirty and too complex for other companies to recycle: these are the plastic bags and wrappers that we all throw away each day, that are littered and burned on street corners, and that clog Myanmar's waterways and landfills. ​
