Plastic waste is fed into a grinding machine in Siem Reap province. - The Phnom Penh Post/Asian News Network PHNOM PENH, Jan 23 (Phnom Penh Post/ANN): Volunteers in Kampong Khlaing commune of Siem Reap province’s Sotr Nikum district have been collecting plastic waste to use as a raw material for the production of bricks and clemence tiles.
The volunteers are hoping that, in addition to helping clean up the environment, the products made from this plastic will contribute to improving and expanding the infrastructure of schools and pagodas in their community.
The plastic waste used to make the bricks and tiles is collected from people living in floating houses on the Tonle Sap Lake who are participating in a project wherein they can exchange the plastic waste they have gathered for rice.
