Re: Throwing rubbish in the rivers
It won't stop people throwing rubbish in the rivers, but Cambodia could probably use some drain socks:

Re: Throwing rubbish in the rivers
I hear rumour of an attempt to create a plant here, capable of turning plastic into fuel (petrol?). Apparently Japanese backed.
Would this make a difference?

Re: Throwing rubbish in the rivers
With the evils of plastic bags, I bought some shares in a company on the Australian ASX that has patents on organic resin bags. Bought at 3c a share, who knows...one day it could become a multiple bagger (pun intended)

They get money for recycling plastic bottles, but not plastic bags. If they got money for plastic bags it would make a difference.Barang chgout wrote: ↑Sun Jun 09, 2019 2:00 pm I hear rumour of an attempt to create a plant here, capable of turning plastic into fuel (petrol?).

Re: Throwing rubbish in the rivers
Back in the bad old days plastic bags were also recycled/cleaned and resold.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Old tyres (and any other rubbish, but that needs to be sorted I’d guess) into gas for gensets.

Turning rubbish into roads
About 40,000 single use plastic bags collected by supermarkets across Australia were melted into an asphalt mix used to pave a laneway in Port Coogee.
"They're the plastic bags you would get from the supermarket, or any old soft plastics that you may have had from chip packets or bread bags," said the city's waste education officer, Nicki Ledger.

Most (not all) Cambodians wont recycle things because they believe in the idea. They will recycle things if they get money for it. Then it is the poor people who collect things for recycling.

Re: Throwing rubbish in the rivers
Starting soon as far as I know, but it's German backed, not Japanese (though maybe the Japanese are also starting one). Breaks down various types of plastic bags to diesel.Barang chgout wrote:I hear rumour of an attempt to create a plant here, capable of turning plastic into fuel (petrol?). Apparently Japanese backed.

Sounds like a really good idea. Hope it has some positive impact.Bitte_Kein_Lexus wrote:Starting soon as far as I know, but it's German backed, not Japanese (though maybe the Japanese are also starting one).
