Field information / public awareness

The war ended. The ordnance didn’t.

Unexploded ordnance can remain dangerous long after a conflict has passed. UXO.ECO is building a clearer, source-led way to understand its lasting humanitarian and environmental consequences.

Start with the basics

Why this exists

Knowledge is part of safer ground.

UXO can affect where people live, farm, rebuild, travel, and recover. Its consequences are not limited to the moment a weapon fails to detonate.

Our aim is straightforward: make dependable information easier to find, easier to understand, and more useful to people who want to learn, teach, report, or contribute responsibly.

Explore the impacts

Safety first

Information is not clearance.

Suspected explosive ordnance must be left alone and reported to the relevant local authorities or specialist services. UXO.ECO does not provide handling, removal, or disposal instructions.

Clearance is specialist work: planned, assessed, and carried out by qualified teams under applicable standards and local authority.

How professional clearance works

The long view

Our goal is obsolescence.

We want a world free from the threat posed by UXO and other explosive remnants of war. That means rigorous, professional work—not a promise that every object everywhere can be known with absolute certainty.

We hope UXO.ECO eventually becomes an archive of a problem people no longer need to navigate. Until then, it exists to point people toward dependable information and qualified help.

UXO.ECO is a WhyTrashEarth project.
