Plastic Pollution Challenge
Based on the WACS conducted by WWF (2021) in ICAGOS, the LGU generates around 13,000 kg of solid wastes daily and 46% of that are plastics. With the limited land area of Samal island, the accumulation of solid wastes pose a serious threat to the environment and surrounding communities. Instead of accumulating in landfills, qualified plastic wastes can be collected by ecoloop for co-processing. Co-processing is the recovery of thermal (heat) and mineral properties of qualified waste materials while manufacturing cement.
Solution
Currently, there is no technology that is able to use end-of-life plastics for large-scale recycling or upcycling. With its advocacy on circular economy, ecoloop provides innovation on waste management through co-processing, where end-of-life plastics that have no value are used as alternative fuels or raw materials in cement manufacturing processes.
