With the support of AVPN, we’re implementing “Zero Plastic Waste Island Project” on Samet island in Rayong Province,Thailand.
Samet island is a small island with about 3,000 inhabitants, but it is famous for its beautiful beaches and attracts many foreign tourists.
Currently, the waste is sent to the mainland for incineration or landfill. This project works with hotel groups and islanders to efficiently collect and dispose of plastic waste.
This project’s that all plastic waste is processed on the island and the recovered oil is given back to the islanders.
We will also dispose of marine devris that washed up on Samet island at the same time.
Many islands around the world are similarly unable to dispose of their waste on their islands and send their waste to the main land, often at great cost.
We’re trying to achieve economic circle by 2024 as a model for waste treatment on the island.
This project is being carried out with AVPN,IGES,Rayong Province in Thailand, and Kitakyushu City. For feasibility study, Alliance to End Plastic Waste(AEPW) supports us strongly.
Starting in 2022, we have been measuring the amount of waste and the breakdown of waste on Samet island. of the waste from Samet island, 15% was plastic.
with the end of Covid 19, up to 15 tons of waste is being brought in per day.
The islanders and hotel owners agree, and the current effort is how to efficiently collect the waste and return benefit to the islanders.
