LAOS PDR
The Laos Government has expressed concerns that landfill sites around the country, have no structured approach to the handling of daily deliveries of municipal solid waste (MSW) and there are no sustainable plans to manage the projected increase in municipal solid waste in the foreseeable future. As part of the Governments Waste Management Strategy, reducing the amount of waste dumped into landfill sites and converting it into renewable fuels, is a key priority.
Through our joint venture company, GEI Mekong, we are a non operating joint venture partner in two waste-to-energy projects in Laos.
