South Korean company to start waste-to-energy study for Cambodia

In Malaysia, The Star reported that Cambodia has offered support for a South Korean firm’s proposal to study the possibility of recycling waste into fuel to generate energy. Cambodia currently produces about four million tons of rubbish each year, according to the Ministry of Environment. According to the report, the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) will work in collaboration with the Minister of Mines and Energy and the Phnom Penh Municipal Hall to facilitate the feasibility study. The environment ministry said Cambodia produces more than 10,000 tons of waste per day, with Phnom Penh alone accounting for between 2,700 and 3,000 tons.
