#OceanAction42393
    Description
    Description
    Managed Pollution Zone (www.ManagedPollutionZone.com, formerly RePlaROc): complete activity line - from removing plastic (MMPW) and other significant pollution from rivers and river banks (most polluted rivers in SouthEast Asia) and oceans through pre-processing the waste till production of much needed products from plastic waste: fuel (heavy oil), electricity, drinking water, septic tanks (lowering the sewage polluted into rivers), low-cost building slabs, 3D printed low-cost houses, asphalt roads with plastic particles added, etc.

    The technology components are ready (Czech Republic, Germany, USA, China and others). We design the complete technology line: collecting the waste, sort it, recycle, production of products see above.

    Benefits: significantly cleaner rivers and consequently oceans, drinking water locally (pumping from wells using the fuel from the plastic by de-polymerization), de-sewage the rivers, employment of local inhabitants under our management (transfer of technology / know-how, education)

    Motivation method for local inhabitants: for plastic waste collected and brought some needed product will be given: drink water, electricity, cell phone charging / data credit.
