Soft Plastic Recycling – Yangon
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”It is about” _builder_version=”4.7.3″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” hover_enabled=”0″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” sticky_enabled=”0″]
“Impact, disposal and recycling of soft and hard plastic and other non-biodegradable waste in Myanmar.”
With the onset of ‘modern products and living,’ there is an increase in the prevalence of plastic waste in the Myanmar environment. Plastic is an oil-based product that should be treated as a resource, not as waste.
Soft plastic such as shopping bags, wraps, sweet wrappers have not been able to be recycled previously as this kind of plastic can’t be pelletised.
With the new Australian technology by PlasTech Recycling, the seven types of plastic can be recycled and made into a product in one manufacturing process.
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Expected Outcomes” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]
The proposed social enterprise will:
- help reduce the soft plastic waste in cities such as Yangon as well as regional centers
- create employment for low skilled workers, both male and female
- help create micro businesses in the collection of plastic as well as the sales of manufactured products
- provide training for staff in areas such as manufacturing processes, occupational health and safety, design, administration and technology skills
- produce products for sale within the Myanmar market as well as for export
- generate a sales income that will cover all costs and generate a profit for use in future projects
Saffron Aid is looking for partners to form this social enterprise in Myanmar. The first melter ideally will be installed in Yangon with future melters being situated in regional centres such as Myeik, Dawei, Mandalay, Bagan etc.
Further details are available on request.
