Collection of Polyethylene Farm Plastics in Far North Queensland, Australia (PWRS) Upcycling Plastic thereby intercepting post-consumer material flow

thereby intercepting post-consumer material flow to the environment and directing it to proper material recovery

65% of plastics are openly burned

and aims to ensure an equal mix of men and women to maximise socio economic impact in this remote coastal region

This project partner plays a critical role in strengthening plastic waste management systems across the Philippines

or dispersed across urban and peri-urban environments

Collection of Polyethylene Farm Plastics in Far North Queensland, Australia (PWRS) Upcycling Plastic thereby intercepting post-consumer material flowThis project implements and enhances collection services to remove agricultural waste, specifically flexible polyethylene, from banana farms in Far North Queensland. This initiative seamlessly integrates with existing horticultural practices and significantly reduces the impact of plastic waste on the Great Barrier Reef, surrounding water bodies, landscapes, and agricultural areas of Far North Queensland, Australia.
