Managed Pollution Zone (www.ManagedPollutionZone.com, formerly RePlaROc): complete activity line - from removing plastic (MMPW) and other significant pollution from rivers and river banks (most polluted rivers in SouthEast Asia) and oceans through pre-processing the waste till production of much needed products from plastic waste: fuel (heavy oil), electricity, drinking water, septic tanks (lowering the sewage polluted into rivers), low-cost building slabs, 3D printed low-cost houses, asphalt roads with plastic particles added, etc.
The technology components are ready (Czech Republic, Germany, USA, China and others). We design the complete technology line: collecting the waste, sort it, recycle, production of products see above.
Benefits: significantly cleaner rivers and consequently oceans, drinking water locally (pumping from wells using the fuel from the plastic by de-polymerization), de-sewage the rivers, employment of local inhabitants under our management (transfer of technology / know-how, education)
Motivation method for local inhabitants: for plastic waste collected and brought some needed product will be given: drink water, electricity, cell phone charging / data credit.
Progress reports
By 2025, prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds, in particular from land-based activities, including marine debris and nutrient pollution
Type of commitment
PLASTICS
- Other (please specify): most polluted rivers cleaning from plastic before reaching the ocean
- Coastal clean-ups:
- Plastics recovery/recycling/reuse:
OTHER POLLUTANTS (please specify)
- Other (please specify): de-sewage of rivers thus less pollution to the oceans affected
Quantification
- 1 mil tons of plastic waste (MMPW) annually in first phase (before 2020), continuously improving this figure (current status: 8-10 mil tons of plastic waste annualy)
By 2020, sustainably manage and protect marine and coastal ecosystems to avoid significant adverse impacts, including by strengthening their resilience, and take action for their restoration in order to achieve healthy and productive oceans
Type of commitment
- Community or Locally Managed Marine Areas
- Integrated Coastal Management
- Large Marine Ecosystem approach
- Other (please specify): reduction of plastic waste from most polluted rivers
Quantification
- 1 mil tons of plastic waste (MMPW) annually in first phase, continuously improving this figure (current status: 8-10 mil tons of plastic waste annualy)
By 2030, increase the economic benefits to Small Island developing States and least developed countries from the sustainable use of marine resources, including through sustainable management of fisheries, aquaculture and tourism
Type of commitment
- Economic benefits from marine renewable energy
- Economic benefits from marine biotechnology
- Other : Economic benefit from end-consumer products from plastic waste
Quantification
- 100M USD of benefits in (1) reducing ecology damages, (2) incomes from selling low-cost products, (3) ecology education of inhabitats, (4) decrease unemployment locally
Increase scientific knowledge, develop research capacity and transfer marine technology, taking into account the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission Criteria and Guidelines on the Transfer of Marine Technology, in order to improve ocean health and to enhance the contribution of marine biodiversity to the development of developing countries, in particular small island developing States and least developed countries
Type of commitment
- Training and professional development
- Transfer marine technology
- Other (please specify): ecology education by motivating inhabitats by proven methods (collecting plastic waste will be rewarded by much needed and desired products)
Quantification
- thousands of inhabitats with changed mind / behavior in plastic waste management
December 2019
Lower plastic waste in most polluted rivers and, consequently, oceans at the river's mouth
June 2019
Employment of local inhabitats
June 2020
Production of low-cost products for inhabitants in need - drink water, electricity, de-sewage of rivers (septic production from waste plastic)
June 2020
Ecology education, transfer of know-how
