Lanka receives beach cleaning machinery to end plastic waste

The Marine Environment Protection Authority (MEPA) of Sri Lanka received eight BeachTech Hydro Sweepy beach cleaning machinery worth about US$180,000, donated by Singapore-based global non-profit, the Alliance to End Plastic Waste. The donation was formally handed over by Foreign Secretary Admiral Prof. Jayanath Colombage to State Minister of Coast Conservation and Low-Lying Lands Development Mohan Priyadarshana de Silva, and Chairperson of Marine Environment Protection Authority Dharshani Lahandapura at a ceremony held yesterday. A press release issued by the Foreign Ministry said: BeachTech Hydro Sweepy beach cleaning machines manufactured by Kässbohrer Geländefahrzeug AG, a company in Germany, are capable of effectively and efficiently cleaning up the plastic nurdles and other types of waste. Another advantage of the machine is that beach clean-up can be done in a safe manner minimising the human contact with hazardous materials.
