CAMBODIA

The Government of Cambodia has concerns that current waste management practices involving the disposal of municipal and industrial waste are not environmentally sustainable. Increasing levels of daily waste collected from across the country and the impact of the landfill sites where this waste is dumped continues to have a negative impact on the environment. The Government of Cambodia has expressed a desire for alternative waste management solutions. 

SMCS Group holds a 40% shareholding in GEI Mekong, a joint venture company created to focus on converting MSW, rubber and plastics into electricity, synthetic diesel, hydrogen and biochar.
