Tunisian environmentalist Semia Labidi Gharbi has won the Goldman Environmental Prize for exposing a 2020 scandal involving 280 containers of Italian waste falsely labeled as recyclable. The shipment contained hazardous household waste, banned in Tunisia. Gharbi’s campaign pressured Italy to repatriate 6,000 tonnes of waste by 2022.

The Goldman committee praised her grassroots efforts in halting illegal waste trafficking.
