Abstract

This year in 2022, the SRWMA (Samoa Recycling &Waste Management Association) and J-PRISM II will begin a pilot project to promote plastic recycling in cooperation with the Samoa Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MNRE) and the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP). The implementation design for this pilot project has been planned and discussed since 2020, and a brand new crushing machine and an extruder machine was imported from Japan to Samoa last year , and the machine were delivered to SRMWA yard on January 17, 2022. These two wooden boxes are filled with our hopes for the upcoming pilot project, and we look forward to successfully installing and operating the machines in the near future
