Plastic Waste Processing In Central Sulawesi
Workers filter and clean PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) plastic waste that has been chopped in the Duta Recycling palette waste processing industry in Palu, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, 5 August 2019. The plastic waste that is processed into semi-finished plastic pellets will then be sent outside the area to be processed back into finished products. The Indonesian government encourages plastic waste processing and recycling efforts to reduce the effects of plastic waste while simultaneously reducing its ranking as the second largest plastic waste producing country in the world.
