The Republic of Fiji has embarked on a plastic recycling project, becoming the first country worldwide to utilise specialised equipment for transforming unsorted and uncleaned plastic into practical products, The Fiji Times<\/em><\/a> reported.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Centre for Appropriate Technology and Development (CATD) spearheads this pilot initiative, aiming to bolster Fiji\u2019s waste management strategies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

CATD\u2019s Rob Denney highlighted the significance of the Zero Emissions Shipping Project in an email, aligning with the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Biman Prasad\u2019s call for enhanced waste management.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Denney, the equipment\u2019s arrival marks a substantial stride towards refining the country\u2019s waste disposal system.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The recycling machinery will facilitate the processing of different plastic types at the community level, including villages, resorts and schools.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Fiji Times quoted said Rob Denney as saying: \u201cA large plant at Naboro could convert all Fiji\u2019s waste plastic, including the material that is already on site.\u201d \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
