Brief Innovation

With the help of public-private partnerships, litter shall be collected from polluted land areas (hotspots), larger rivers and beaches. Experiments will be carried out where non- recyclable materials will be energy-recovered and replace other energy sources such as coal. Cement ovens, (“kilns”) which provide the most combustion, will be preferred. This kind of practice will increase the handling capacity for litter, and reduce the need for landfills and regular incineration, reducing the consumption of fossil fuels and the emission of greenhouse gases. Lessons learned from the project will be shared through a regional forum.
