Project name: JICA's grassroots technical cooperation support project "Plastic pollution countermeasure project with public participation in Lake Tonle Sap in the Kingdom of Cambodia"
Project content: We are thinking what kind of approach should be taken to change people's awareness of plastic and control the habitual disposal of plastic waste in the floating villages of Lake Tonle Sap, Cambodia. In order to get hints on that, we will work on the implementation of segregating and recycling of plastic waste in this floating village.
