Achieve ''Towards Zero'' Waste Strategy
SHANGHAI, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sancon Resources Recovery, Inc., (OTCBB:SRRY - News) a rapidly growing industrial and commercial waste management and waste recycling company, with operations in both China and Australia, today announced that recycling silage wrap into a strong, durable coating for pine posts with local government councils by its Australian division has been very successful. Sancon expects it contributes positively to the bottom line and its Australian division turns profit in 2008.
This recycling project has seen farmers from some of Australia’s local councils such as Baw Baw Shire Council (www.bawbawshire.vic.gov.au) and South Gippsland Shire Council (www.southgippsland.vic.gov.au) recycle hundreds of tons of silage wrap this year that would have otherwise been burnt or taken to landfill. Disposing Silage wrap is an ongoing problem for farmers because it’s illegal to burn or bury it on farms but costly ad wasteful to send to landfill. Sancon can recycle 60-70 tons of silage wrap a day with the product exported to China and made into things such as plastics to seal untreated pine posts for the viticulture and aquaculture industries.
“It’s rewarding to enable the recycling of this potentially problematic farming material,” said Mr. Geoff McKinnon, South Gippsland Shire Council’s Waste Management Coordinator. “Council has recently signed the State Government’s Sustainability Accord to formalize its commitment to improving the sustainability of its processes and activities, and this is an example of a process that we have had in place for a number of years.” “In the past most collection days have resulted in the recovery of more than 10 tons of plastic,” explained Geoff. “Diverting these sorts of quantities from landfill represents a great result for community and the environment. “
Through its waste management and recycling system, Sancon collects plastic waste materials and processes them into re-usable raw materials for its manufacturing customers in China. These materials are used in the production of an array of new lifelong products used in everyday life, including plastic outdoor furniture, street signs, thermal insulation in buildings, lightweight fill in, road construction, and plastic packaging materials amongst others.
"The use of recycled plastic materials greatly reduces the demand on our scarce natural resources, and at the same time lessens new product costs. We applaud the efforts made by these local governments to not only increase public awareness for recycling, but also work directly with us in converting waste into new recycled materials. Sancon is very proud with making continuous progress educating local governments on how to better process their waste and preserve their beautiful environment and community," states Mr. Jack Chen, CEO of Sancon.
