Community Collection and Recycling of HDPE, LLDPE, PP in Bangkok, Thailand (PPRS) and flood defense—contributing to more

and flood defense—contributing to more sustainable and climate-resilient urban development

The low value plastics they collect are then processed and sold to different co-processors as alternative fuel

combined with an explosion of single use plastics and goods sold in small sachets

which flows directly into the Chao Phraya River and the Gulf of Thailand

These materials are then sold to junkshops
