Waste Cleanup, Treatment and Recycling
As the name of the project, one of the important activities of the project is waste collection, cleanup and treatment, to remove plastic waste from the Sangke River in Battambang City, the Mekong, Tonle Sab, and Tonle Basac in Phnom Penh and Takmao City, the Mekong in Kampong Cham and Kratie city, and treat it in different steps:
Step 1: cleanup work
In the morning time our teams go and collect all kind of waste along the target locations and transfer it to the own treatment facility. The tools which are used for the waste collection and transport are boats. Seehamster, TukTuk, Truck…etc.
Total waste collected amount: 656,033.09 Kg
Step 2: waste treatment
At the treatment plant, the collected plastic waste need be sorted out from the other waste and separated in recyclable and non-recyclable plastic. The plastic waste from the targe location is dirty, and is therefore almost not-recyclable.
PW collected amount: 422,939.52 Kg
Step 3: prepare PW as thermal resource
The collected non-recyclable plastic needs to be cleaned and dried under the sun, before it can be used as thermal resource in the end pip of environment friendly and sound of waste management at the Chip Mong INSEE Cement fabric in Kampot.
PW is used as thermal resource: 286,521.62 Kg
