(1) The enactment of Sub-Decree No. 113/2015 on Solid Waste Management marked a significant policy shift towards the decentralisation of waste management in Cambodia and some progress has been observed in Phnom Penh and some other large cities and tourist destinations. However, information in rural areas is lacking. Rapid and simple waste...
Book of Abstracts - SLAcJ 8th International Conference on Harnessing Technology and Governance for Natural Capital Management
Environmental Education (EE) is crucial for raising awareness about environmental protection and improving the quality of life for present and future generations (Ilovan et al., 2019; Premakumara et al., 2016). This is particularly important in addressing global issues like plastic pollution. As of 2015, approximately 6300 metric tons of plastic...
1st International Conference on Plastics & Environmental Sustainability
Synthetic fibres, owing to their durability, elasticity, non-wrinkle nature, and cost-effectiveness, have become ubiquitous globally. However, the widespread use of synthetic fibres has raised concerns about microfiber pollution, particularly in laundry wastewater. While source reduction could be considered the main management method to prevent...
