The Centre for Appropriate Technology and Development (CATD) spearheads this pilot initiative, aiming to bolster Fiji\u2019s waste management strategies.<\/p>\n<p>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. According to Denney, the equipment\u2019s arrival marks a substantial stride towards refining the country\u2019s waste disposal system. The recycling machinery will facilitate the processing of different plastic types at the community level, including villages, resorts and schools.<\/p>\n<p>The items, whether extruded or pressure moulded in aluminium moulds, maintain uniform qualities and can be customised with various outer wrappings. This outer layer is crucial as it shields the plastic from UV radiation, preventing degradation into microplastics. The project\u2019s versatility in creating products of diverse sizes and shapes has garnered international attention, with Fiji securing orders for signposts destined for Australia.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2024-10-wastewater-bacteria-plastic-food-yielding.html\">Phys.org<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-604\/\">Fiji trials recycling initiative for unsorted and uncleaned plastic<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,4813,694,764],"class_list":["post-134383","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-fiji","tag-plastic","tag-recycling"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134383","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134383"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134383\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134383"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134383"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134383"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
