The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency awarded $30,000 to the Electicore Consortium to organize a scrap material recycling program in the Pacific called the Green Island Alliance.
The Green Island Alliance program will investigate scrap material collection activities on Guam, CNMI and Palau including: volumes of collected and uncollected scrap materials, material types, shipping requirements, legal and regulatory framework, and groups involved in the scrap material collection activities.
Based on the findings, the alliance will identify a suitable process and vessel for the transport of scrap material off the islands for recycling. The project will start by looking at scrap metal and aluminum cans and then move on to glass, plastic and other types of solid waste.
